The first proposal is to “strongly increase the contribution and dedication of the literary and artistic community in implementing the strategic goals of 100 years under the leadership of the Party and 100 years of the founding of the country”. The second proposal is to “focus on building a literary and artistic foundation under the leadership of the Party worthy of the era of national development”. The third proposal: “Strongly innovate the work of managing, developing, nurturing, fostering, and promoting literary and artistic talents”.
The first proposal states: “Strive to create a new collection of timeless, useful works that vividly reflect the reality of the new revolutionary period; illuminate the way, illuminate life, have the power to move emotions, call on the entire people and army to implement the Party's policies; arouse and gather the people's hearts, multiply the people's strength, together with the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army, create an invincible strength to bring the Vietnamese revolutionary cause to new heights; actively contribute to building human civilization”.
Strive to create a lifetime collection of works
The General Secretary emphasized the role of artists in creating great works that vividly reflect revolutionary reality and have a profound influence on the spiritual life of the people. This includes creating timeless works with values of truth, goodness, and beauty that can move people's hearts, arouse the spirit of solidarity, and gather the strength of the entire nation. The works have the role of illuminating life, contributing to orienting and spreading noble humanistic values.
Lifetime works are considered as works of art with profound ideological value. This requirement poses a challenge for artists in terms of their ability to identify, explain and convey social changes and human thoughts in the current social context.
Has the power to move emotions, calling on the whole nation
In his speech, General Secretary To Lam paid special attention to the ability of artworks to “move emotions and appeal to the entire people and army”. Artworks are not only the artist’s story, but must also be able to rally the people, arouse solidarity and spread patriotism.
Culture and arts are the soul of the nation, an indispensable spiritual foundation in the process of building and developing the country. In the context of globalization, preserving and developing culture and arts is not only the task of artists and culturalists, but also requires the active participation of the entire people, the entire Party and the entire army. For culture to truly become a driving force for development, there must be practical and effective solutions to arouse, gather the people and multiply the strength of the entire nation, contributing to bringing the Vietnamese revolutionary cause to new heights, while actively contributing to human civilization.
Arouse, gather people's hearts and promote the strength of the whole nation
Ultimately, the core solution is still to arouse and gather the people’s hearts. Only when culture is truly closely linked to life, reflecting and nurturing the aspirations of the people, can it become a source of strength to move the country forward. With the consensus of the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army, Vietnamese culture will actively contribute to the construction of human civilization, and at the same time reach new heights in the revolutionary cause.
It is necessary to promote international cooperation in the field of culture and arts, learning the quintessence of humanity but not losing national identity.
At the end of his speech, General Secretary To Lam affirmed: “The Party, State and People believe that, by promoting the glorious tradition, the country's artists will certainly achieve new achievements, conquer new heights in artistic creation, constantly foster and build an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity, creating endogenous strength for national development and actively contributing to the development of human civilization.”
