In 1986, the 6th National Congress of the Party officially initiated the Doi Moi process, opening a new era of development for the country. This historic decision not only transformed the economic model from centralized, subsidized to a socialist-oriented market economy, but also created a revolution in thinking, liberating repressed potentials, leading to profound changes in all areas of social life, including culture and arts.

The 6th National Congress affirmed: "No form of ideology can replace literature and art in building healthy emotions, deeply impacting the renewal of people's thinking and lifestyle." This assessment demonstrates the Party's spirit of innovation in thinking about culture and art, while opening up opportunities for culture and art to innovate and develop according to their own specific laws.
