Conference and discussion scene

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports Tran Thi Van Anh said that in the context of globalization and deep international integration, Hanoi is facing many great opportunities but also many challenges. The intersection between traditional and modern values, between national identity and international influence poses an urgent need to build a system of human values ​​suitable for the times, while affirming the representativeness of the Capital to the whole country.

Currently, the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports has drafted plans, quantifying the standards for building Hanoians to be "elegant, polite, kind, and civilized" into criteria. Plan 1, Hanoians in the period of innovation and international integration need to ensure the following criteria: Elegance (polite behavior in daily communication); civilized behavior; creative in thinking and action; modern in lifestyle; international integration; preserving identity and pride...

Option 2, Hanoians need the following personality traits: Sense of pride and representation of the Capital; sense of responsibility for the role of the political and cultural center; standard communication culture; spirit of deep international integration; promoting the value of Thang Long - Hanoi heritage; awareness of building a modern - smart urban area; spirit of leading creativity...

New era and new demands on Hanoi people

At the conference, delegates made many contributions to the development of criteria for Vietnamese people. According to Dr. Nguyen Viet Chuc, former Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children (now the Committee on Culture and Education), Hanoians need qualities such as pioneering, bravery, creativity and tolerance. "Pioneering is a necessary quality for Hanoians on the threshold of the new era. Hanoians possess the greatest asset in the national cultural treasure, and receive the best material and spiritual conditions as citizens of the Capital, the political brain, the major center of economy, culture and society, and must be pioneers in all areas of the new era. If Hanoians are not pioneers, who are they waiting for? Where are they waiting to be pioneers?!".

Mr. Do Dinh Hong, Director of Hanoi Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, spoke at the Conference.

Dr. Nguyen Viet Chuc believes that the second criterion of Hanoians is Courage. "To be a pioneer, to be creative, one must have courage. Courage in studying and working. Courage in life. The new era with its development pace, scope and level of openness, deep integration, great and complex opportunities and challenges! Without courage, one cannot adapt! Third: Creativity! The new era, the digital era, the technological era, the 4.0 revolution era, does not allow for backwardness in thinking or working. Creativity is the top quality to meet this requirement! Fourth: Tolerance! This quality is inherent in Vietnamese people in general, especially Hanoians. Without tolerance, how can we be the cradle that nurtures talents from all over the country?" - Dr. Nguyen Viet Chuc commented.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Luong Dinh Hai, Hanoi is the locality that has taken the lead in building codes of conduct and standards for the capital's people to be gallant, elegant, kind, civilized, and creative. "If we develop a set of standards for subjects, we must first focus on ethical standards," Associate Professor, Dr. Luong Dinh Hai stated. Meanwhile, Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Duy Duc said that when building criteria for cultural development of Hanoi people, we must ensure the right to develop the capital's people, focus on quality of life, promote a green lifestyle, etc.

Contributing to the criteria of Hanoians, delegates said that, in addition to the standards being built, Hanoi needs to pay attention to some virtues suitable for today's life such as keeping one's word; awareness of respecting the law, typically traffic laws; preserving and maintaining traditional culture to attract cultural resources and people from all over the country.

In his concluding remarks at the conference, Deputy Director of the Department of Grassroots Culture (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) Luong Duc Thang said that recently, the Central Government and Hanoi have paid great attention to building a system of cultural values, a system of family values ​​and standards for Vietnamese people in the new situation.

“The construction of the value system of Hanoians today needs to be placed in the “Era of national growth” as directed by General Secretary To Lam. This value system needs to be quantified specifically, close to reality, serving the development purpose of the capital in particular and of Vietnam in general. To build human development criteria, it is necessary to focus on leadership and direction from all levels; focus on communication and require coordination from all levels, sectors, and people…”, Mr. Luong Duc Thang stated./.
