The Prime Minister recalled that President Ho Chi Minh, the genius leader, great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, national liberation hero, world cultural celebrity once said: "Culture lights the way for the nation."

According to the Prime Minister, 82 years ago, in the Outline of Vietnamese Culture, the Communist Party of Vietnam determined that culture must be scientific, national, and popular, and in the process of developing, protecting and building the country, we have added that culture must be civilized and modern.

Recently, documents of Party Congresses have identified culture as an endogenous strength, the spiritual foundation of our people and nation. Former General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said: "If culture remains, the nation remains; if culture is lost, the nation is lost."
