The Head of Government believes that it is necessary to internationalize the culture imbued with national identity and the Vietnamese value system through culture, sports and tourism, and at the same time Vietnamize the quintessence of the world. This is of great significance and the mission of the culture, sports and tourism sector is to be the vanguard and main force on this front.

All ministries, sectors and localities must follow this spirit, including the culture, sports and tourism sector.
The Prime Minister pointed out 7 main groups of tasks and solutions, first of all creating institutional breakthroughs in the direction of resolutely abandoning the mindset of "if you can't manage it, then ban it", resolutely eliminating the "ask - give" mechanism; promoting decentralization, delegation of power, cutting and simplifying administrative procedures associated with digital transformation...

“We have a national target program on cultural development, but if we only rely on state resources, it will be very difficult to develop.
