The new period requires propaganda, cultural, artistic, educational and training agencies, press and publishing agencies to further strengthen theoretical research and systematically and in-depth practical summaries to further improve the effectiveness of consulting and advising to help the Party and State at all levels improve their leadership, direction and management capacity, in order to strongly and firmly develop the country's literature and arts in the coming years.
