Reporting at the meeting, Associate Professor, Doctor, Artist Do Hong Quan, Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations, said: In recent years, the team of artists has continued to promote patriotism, make efforts in composing, mobilizing, propagating, promoting and introducing literary and artistic works, participating in conveying the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws to the masses, contributing to the common and important achievements of the country.
However, according to artist Do Hong Quan, in recent years there have not been many high-quality works, which have not attracted wide public attention and have not had much influence. Some regulations on policies and regimes for Association officials are not clear. The planning and appointment of leaders, assistants and consultants have encountered many difficulties. Investment funds for literature and art are not commensurate. Literature and art work in general and especially in localities still face many difficulties and confusion regarding operating costs. Some Party committees and authorities have not attached importance to or paid attention to the role and specificity of literature and art. Socialization work is not strong and is not very effective.
Request the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to submit to the Prime Minister for approval the mechanism for assigning tasks and implementing the application of expenditure norms for supporting the creation of works according to Decision 558-QD/TTg of the Prime Minister; Continue to preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries and branches to approve funding for 3D books according to Decision 69/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister on the Program for research, building a database and publishing literary works for the revolutionary cause towards the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Country, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party on the basis of 4.0 technology; Guide the implementation of Decision No. 25-QD/TTg of the Prime Minister on the annual Literature and Arts Awards; Synthesize and report on the tasks that the Union and Associations have proposed and proposed to include in the National Target Program on Culture for the period 2025-2035 or submit to the Prime Minister to develop into separate programs and projects for implementation.
At the meeting, the opinions of the representatives of the Central Professional Associations agreed to propose the completion and establishment of Party delegations at the Associations, the award mechanism of Festivals, Awards of the Associations, policies for artists...


Minister Nguyen Van Hung said that there will be solutions to clear mechanisms and policies that will be built and implemented for the development of Vietnamese culture and arts in the coming time. Regarding the National Target Program on Cultural Development for the period 2025 - 2035, after having a common understanding of the content of culture and arts development and training of artists, when the National Assembly approves, together with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the issue of organization and implementation will be handled by the Union of Culture and Arts Associations, training institutions, localities, etc. This shows the division of roles and decentralization in organization and implementation. The Minister hopes that this will have the drastic participation of relevant parties to create efficiency in implementation.
Regarding the strategy for developing the cultural industry, the Minister stated that it is necessary to clearly define the role of the State in creating policies, businesses in implementing them, and artists in playing the role of creators.

Concluding the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Trong Nghia acknowledged the achievements of the Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations and the Central specialized Literature and Arts Associations in the development of Vietnamese literature and arts. In the coming period, Comrade Nguyen Trong Nghia suggested thoroughly grasping the Party's Resolutions and Conclusions on culture in general and literature and arts in particular to all levels and units. From there, creating unity within the Party and the People; rejecting the wrong views of hostile forces; protecting the Party's ideological foundation while still being free and democratic in creativity; arousing and strongly promoting the desire to contribute and the creative capacity of artists.
Comrade Nguyen Trong Nghia also requested to improve the effectiveness of state management, increase resources for building and developing culture and arts; pay more attention to the lives of artists; promote the role, functions and tasks of the Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations and specialized Literature and Arts Associations in performing their tasks. Investment in culture and arts must avoid spreading, have reasonable allocation; focus on infrastructure to raise the country's position, meet the people's need to enjoy culture and arts. Socialization in culture and arts needs to be focused on in the direction of perfecting policies.
In addition, the Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations and the Central specialized Literature and Arts Associations need to promote their role in consulting, criticizing and social appraisal according to the charter and participate with management agencies in building the legal system, removing obstacles and difficulties in the development of literature and arts; making efforts to contribute to the improvement of mechanisms and policies. The proposed solutions must ensure feasibility and consistency.
