At the seminar, People's Artist Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture and Sports, said that the literary and artistic activities of Ho Chi Minh City in the 50 years since the country's reunification have basically followed the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws and policies, and the requirements set for the industry and fields, meeting the people's need for cultural and spiritual enjoyment. In each period, literature and art have closely accompanied, strongly encouraged and motivated all classes of people to carry out the country's political goals and tasks in the new situation.
Over the past 50 years, Ho Chi Minh City's literary and artistic activities have always been pioneers in the process of integration and creativity while still ensuring the preservation and promotion of national identity, forming the unique features of the city's culture, literature and art.

“In the context of accelerating industrialization, modernization, international integration and global cultural exchange, the city has promptly planned policies on preserving and promoting cultural heritage values in accordance with the actual situation of the city and the development trend of the times,” said People's Artist Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy.
However, despite many achievements, the work of building and developing literature and art in Ho Chi Minh City still has some limitations and difficulties. According to comrade Nguyen Manh Cuong, Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, the awareness of the Party committees and authorities at all levels about the position, role and importance of culture continues to be affirmed, however, at times, the building and development of culture, literature and art has not been properly focused.
There are more and more literary and artistic works, but there are still few great, significant and valuable literary and artistic works. Creation is still following the same path, without strong breakthroughs and innovations; new works do not reflect social reality in a typical way, and do not touch the common emotions of the community.
The number of valuable literary and artistic works of the city introduced abroad is still limited. The operation of literary and artistic activities of public agencies is still in the old way, not paying attention to communication work, still following the old communication method or lacking funds to carry out effective communication...
