Vietnam has great potential and advantages in many aspects to develop cultural industries, contributing to creating new momentum for the country's development, in line with the trend of the times.
On August 29, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed and issued Directive No. 30/CT-TTg on the development of Vietnam's cultural industries.
The Prime Minister's Directive clearly states that, in the world, cultural industries are developing strongly and are identified as important and sustainable factors to attract resources, create competitive advantages, contribute positively to socio-economic development, and position the national brand.
Vietnam has great potential and advantages in many aspects to develop cultural industries, contributing to creating new momentum for the country's development, in line with the trend of the times.
However, the development of cultural industries in our country still faces many difficulties and limitations such as: Lack of legal documents clearly defining the role of state management, responsibilities and powers of relevant entities in a number of fields. Mechanisms and policies have not kept up with reality, and the implementation process in a number of industries and fields has not been effective.
The coordination mechanism is still lacking in synchronization; key products and services have not been identified. Illegal copying of creative products and violations of copyright laws have not been prevented promptly and thoroughly...
To promote the development of cultural industry, it is necessary to focus on and accelerate the process of applying and exploiting scientific and technological achievements, engineering skills, business skills, creativity, promoting cultural capital and intellectual property rights to create products and services with cultural and economic values, meeting the needs of people for consumption and cultural enjoyment, contributing to the sustainable development of the country.
Developing cultural industries must ensure maximum and effective exploitation of potential and advantages; diversity and multi-sector and multi-field linkage; sharp thinking, decisive and effective action, knowing how to select the best and create development breakthroughs.
At the same time, it must meet the following factors: Creativity, identity, uniqueness, professionalism, healthiness, competitiveness, and sustainability on the basis of nationality, science, and mass; gradually build a national brand, participate in the global value chain; and comply with the laws of the market economy, domestic and international laws.
