Throughout the year, many major provincial events were widely publicized through various media channels such as print newspapers, online newspapers, radio, and television. Highlights included activities within the framework of the Cua Lo Tourism Festival and the Lang Sen Festival; major art programs and cultural events of the province; activities promoting and honoring the Nghe Tinh folk songs – a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity; and many unique cultural events in mountainous and highland areas.
In addition, emphasis has been placed on promoting high-performance sports and the mass sports movement. Many exchange programs and events honoring outstanding athletes and coaches of Nghe An sports have been implemented, contributing to encouraging the sports training movement among the people.
Through specialized websites, sections, and thematic programs, the two units also collaborate to introduce many unique cultural values of Nghe An province, promote destinations, traditional festivals, and grassroots cultural life, contributing to improving the effectiveness of communication and tourism promotion in the province.
Besides the achievements, the two units also frankly acknowledged that some areas of cooperation have not been implemented synchronously, including some programs that could not be carried out due to limited resources; coordination in propaganda in some areas such as tourism, preservation and promotion of folk songs and ballads lacks a long-term plan and needs continued attention in the future.
Many unique cultural and sporting events and programs will take place in 2026.
Based on the results achieved, the delegates focused their discussions and agreed on several key areas of cooperation for 2026.
In the field of sports, the two units have agreed to jointly organize the 27th Nghe An Newspaper and Radio & Television Cup Youth and Children's Football Tournament, scheduled to take place in June 2026, continuing to maintain the scale, quality, and tradition of the tournament after 26 years of organization.

Leaders of the two units emphasized that strengthening coordination between the press and the culture, sports, and tourism sectors will contribute to promoting the image of Nghe An, spreading the unique cultural values of the homeland, and simultaneously promoting tourism development and improving the cultural and spiritual life of the people. The coordination contents will continue to be refined into a specific plan, clearly assigning responsibilities to each unit for effective implementation in 2026.
