Create a comprehensive shift in perception

Speaking and directing at the conference, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Head of the Steering Committee for Program No. 06-CTr/TU Nguyen Van Phong reiterated that the implementation of Program No. 06-CTr/TU took place in a special context, when the whole country and the capital had to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Hanoi has effectively implemented the Program.

“This is a Program that follows many previous programs on people and culture in many terms. But this is a term that has achieved many achievements and made a difference. There has not been any Program in which the Hanoi Party Committee issued a specialized Resolution, which is Resolution No. 09-NQ/TU dated February 22, 2022 on "Developing cultural industry in the capital for the period 2021-2025, orientation to 2030, vision to 2045"; Directive No. 30-CT/TU dated February 19, 2024 on strengthening the leadership of the Party Committee at all levels in building elegant and civilized Hanoians. More importantly, the Program has received the support and consensus of the business community, artists, artisans and the masses," Mr. Phong commented.

Summarizing Program No. 06-CTr/TU, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong assessed that the most obvious result was that all targets in the program had been achieved, many targets exceeded. In particular, the city had made appropriate investments in education - training and culture, clearly defining the goal: Taking culture and people as one of the five important pillars and the driving force for the development of the Capital.

In addition, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong assessed that after more than 4 years of implementation, Program No. 06-CTr/TU has created a comprehensive change in awareness, from the city to the grassroots. Hanoi has had specific and practical products on culture and people, affirming the prestige, brand and position of the Capital, contributing significantly to the source of creativity in society, thereby improving the cultural and spiritual life of the people.

“The most gratifying thing is that in the process of implementing Program No. 06-CTr/TU, we have become more confident in organizing large-scale cultural events of international significance. The program has aroused more pride in the historical and cultural traditions of Thang Long - Hanoi, and at the same time, helped localities clearly see their responsibility in preserving and promoting the values ​​of Thang Long - Hanoi in the new era. We have become more aware of the issue of developing cultural industries in preserving and promoting traditional values ​​and linking with tourism development of each locality,” emphasized Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong.

In addition to the achieved results, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong also pointed out the limitations and shortcomings. With the existing potential and advantages, Hanoi must have more attractive creative products.

Regarding Hanoi's goals and tasks in the new era, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong emphasized that the capital city of Hanoi strives to become a city with capacity, prestige, and high competitiveness, thereby moving towards becoming a globally connected city. To do that, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee suggested that localities and units need to quickly adapt to the innovations of the capital and the country. Localities and units need to promote digital transformation in all fields.

“In the past, we have carried out digital transformation in the fields of culture, education, and high-quality human resource development, but that is only the beginning. The potential for digital transformation is still very large, so it needs to be exploited effectively and creatively. This depends largely on the determination of leaders at all levels," said Nguyen Van Phong, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee.

In addition, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong also suggested that in the coming time, Hanoi needs to further promote international integration and learn from international friends' experiences. "We need to turn Hanoi's cultural and human resources into truly new resources to build and develop the capital in the right direction of a civilized, modern, globally connected capital."
