Conference scene.

Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Cong Tuan - Vice Principal of Hanoi University of Culture said that the Outline on Vietnamese Culture in 1943 was born in the context of the country being "under a double yoke" due to the domination of French colonialism and Japanese fascism, with extremely reactionary cultural policies, aiming to permanently enslave the country and people of Vietnam.

To fight against that reactionary cultural policy, the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Indochinese Communist Party, held from February 25 to 28, 1943, issued a policy of "creating a progressive cultural movement, a national salvation culture, against the backward fascist culture". Based on the opinions discussed at the conference, comrade Truong Chinh drafted the Outline on Vietnamese culture in 1943.

The outline is a torch illuminating the path of revolutionary culture, not only providing orientation, but also arousing patriotism, national solidarity and the will to fight for independence and freedom.

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dinh Cong Tuan - Vice Rector of Hanoi University of Culture delivered the opening speech of the workshop.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Cong Tuan, in the process of protecting and developing the country, the People's Public Security force has inherited the spirit of the Outline to effectively fight against hostile forces, refute reactionary ideologies and protect the national culture in the face of the challenges of the times.

This is not only demonstrated through historical achievements, but also through the tireless efforts in protecting cultural security against issues such as "peaceful evolution" and "cultural invasion" in the era of globalization and digital technology explosion.

At the Workshop, presenting a paper with the topic "The lasting value of the 1943 Outline on Vietnamese culture through reflection on current reality", Associate Professor, Dr. Le Hai Binh - Alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Communist Magazine said that the outstanding point of the 1943 Outline on Vietnamese culture is to comprehensively and deeply mention the role and value of culture, the characteristics of Vietnamese culture, the principles and orientations for building Vietnamese culture.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Le Hai Binh, one of the highlights of the 1943 Outline on Vietnamese Culture is the comprehensive and profound mention of cultural aspects and cultural characteristics of the Vietnamese people. Looking back over 80 years, the three principles of national, popular, and scientific emphasized by the Outline have become the basic principles, both the basis, the foundation, and the goal to achieve in the process of building and developing Vietnamese culture. This is also one of the core contents that make up the lasting value of the Outline.

Associate Professor, Dr. Le Hai Binh - Editor-in-Chief of Communist Magazine delivered a speech.

The 1943 outline on Vietnamese culture considered “The cultural front as one of three fronts (economic, political, cultural)”, and affirmed “It is not only necessary to make a political revolution but also a cultural revolution”.

The outline of Vietnamese culture also clearly stated: "The culture that the Indochina cultural revolution must implement will be socialist culture", so the construction of a socialist culture was predicted since 1943. And in the past 80 years, especially in nearly 40 years of renovation, under many different methods and names, the task of building a socialist culture has been carried out.

However, the problem now is that when the Party leading the country has unified the policy of building a socialist-oriented market economy, the policy of building and perfecting a socialist rule-of-law state, promoting socialist democracy, then defining the policy of building a socialist culture has also become an urgent requirement, showing conformity with the laws of cultural development, the laws of movement of the country, and being consistent with the Party's policies and guidelines in building socialism in Vietnam.

Lieutenant General Phan Xuan Tuy - Director of the People's Public Security Political Academy

Lieutenant General Phan Xuan Tuy - Director of the People's Public Security Academy emphasized that more than 80 years have passed, but the value of the Outline on Vietnamese culture continues to shine, remaining intact to arouse the spirit of patriotism, the determination of the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people, including the People's Public Security force (CAND), always ready to fight and sacrifice for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for the happiness of the People, for the noble ideals of socialism; to protect the Party, the State, the People and the socialist regime; to firmly protect independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity; to protect national security, maintain political stability and social order and safety in the context, situation and requirements of new tasks.

From the content guidelines of the Outline on Vietnamese Culture, Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on the People's Public Security Forces and Uncle Ho's Six Teachings to the People's Public Security Forces, the People's Public Security Forces have fully and deeply understood and seriously inherited, deployed and implemented to promote the great and precious values ​​and timeliness of the Outline.

Performance to welcome the workshop.

According to Lieutenant General Phan Xuan Tuy, in the coming time, the world and domestic situation will continue to have complex developments, besides advantages, there are also many new difficulties and challenges. The process of globalization and international integration is a favorable condition for our country to develop more comprehensively, but at the same time it also poses new requirements for the cause of building and protecting the socialist Fatherland of Vietnam in general, and the cause of protecting security and order in particular.

Faced with increasingly high requirements of revolutionary tasks, the tasks of the Public Security force in the new period are increasingly high and in order to be determined to successfully implement the Party's policy at the 13th National Congress of Delegates and Resolution No. 12-NQ/TW dated March 16, 2022 of the Politburo on "Promoting the building of a truly clean, strong, disciplined, elite, modern Public Security force, meeting the requirements and tasks in the new situation", it is necessary to continue to absorb the instructions of the Outline on Vietnamese Culture and the viewpoints of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh to build the cultural values ​​of the Public Security force in the new situation./.
