Since then, it has marked an important milestone and has great significance in the work of preserving and promoting the value of Nghe Tinh Vi and Giam folk songs in the current period. Over the past decade, the authorities and people of the two provinces have joined hands and made efforts to come up with many positive solutions to protect the heritage in a way that adapts to the times.
In particular, the rotation of the Vi and Giam Folk Song Festival between the two provinces is a practical activity within the national action program and is also a vivid demonstration affirming to the international community Vietnam's commitment to preserving and promoting the values of intangible cultural heritage representing humanity.
In order for Nghe Tinh Vi and Giam folk songs to continue to shine in the cultural flow of the nation and the world, in 2023, Nghe An Provincial People's Committee issued a Plan to preside over and coordinate with Ha Tinh Province to organize Nghe Tinh Vi and Giam folk songs Festival with the theme "Vi Giam - Shining quintessence".

In addition, the festival is also an opportunity for clubs, artisans and people to exchange and learn from each other, and continue to promote the Nghe Tinh folk song singing movement among the people, sectors, and mass organizations.
In Nghe An, the Nghe Tinh Vi and Giam Folk Song Festival at cluster level was held in 4 clusters. Up to now, 3/4 clusters have successfully organized the festival.
