Speaking at the ceremony, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung recalled the history of 80 years ago, on August 28, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh signed the Proclamation establishing a provisional government consisting of 13 ministries, including the Ministry of Information and Propaganda, the predecessor of the current Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Minister Nguyen Van Hung said: "Since the Party's leadership, culture has been identified as an important front. The 1943 Vietnamese Culture Outline - the Party's first manifesto on culture - identified three basic principles: "National - Scientific - Mass" in building and developing culture; Resolutions of Congresses, specialized Resolutions of the Central Executive Committee and the Politburo all affirmed that culture is the soul of the nation, the driving force of development, and the "soft power" of the nation."

Also according to the commander of the cultural sector: "Thanks to that correct and creative direction, the 80-year journey of the cultural sector has created an epic with many emotional levels: Culture has nurtured the soul and identity, from the heroic music of the resistance culture, to the confident dances of integrated sports with aspirations to reach high, with the footsteps of tourism bringing the country to the world and the press becoming the conduit of knowledge connecting the trust between the Party and the people".

Breakthrough mission of the cultural industry

Minister Nguyen Van Hung also pointed out breakthrough tasks.

Firstly, continue to thoroughly grasp and seriously implement the guiding viewpoints of the Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat on national development in the era of national development, with strategic breakthroughs from the "quartet" of resolutions 57, 58, 66 and 68 issued by the Politburo. In the immediate future, it is necessary to focus on building and completing the report dossier for the Government Party Committee to submit to the Politburo to issue the Resolution on "Revival and development of Vietnamese culture in the new era" in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Second, synchronously and effectively carry out personnel work, closely following the Party's viewpoints and principles, building a team with sufficient qualities, capacity and prestige, equal to the task, meeting the development requirements of the fields of culture, information, sports and tourism. Each cultural officer must truly understand culture, practice and strive to become a "cultural ambassador", "information ambassador", "tourism ambassador", "sports ambassador".

Third, focus on building a healthy cultural environment, ensuring that all members of the community can develop their creative abilities. Continue to build the value system of Vietnamese people, when the ability to select the subtle, the good, to position oneself, values, national identity associated with the desire to integrate and contribute is promoted, it will become a soft shield to eliminate the offensive, uncultured like "fragrant flowers will overwhelm weeds".

Fourth, mobilize, utilize and maximize the effectiveness of all development resources invested by the Party, State and society in the fields of culture, information, sports and tourism. Immediately deploy the national target program on cultural development for the period 2025-2035 after the Prime Minister approves the investment; the strategy for developing cultural industries until 2030; the strategy for developing physical education and sports until 2030; invest in, construct and complete cultural works and institutions worthy of the Ho Chi Minh era; effectively manage, exploit and use public assets for cultural, information and sports infrastructure assets.
