Exploiting the economic potential of cultural industries

In addition, some tasks assigned by the province but the sector's implementation are still behind schedule and have not been completed, such as: Project on developing Ho Chi Minh cultural space for the period 2024-2030; Project on managing, preserving and promoting the value of the special national relic Phan Boi Chau Memorial Site for the period 2025-2030, with a vision to 2035; adjusting and supplementing the construction planning of Ho Chi Minh Square and the architectural planning scheme of the project "Tinh Hoa Xu Nghe Digital Technology Experience Space at Ho Chi Minh Square"; Folk Song Theater project at 77 Nguyen Du Street; project on restoring and embellishing Phan Boi Chau relic.
In addition, the mobilization of social resources for investment in the cultural and sports fields is still limited; the cultural industry in Nghe An is almost undeveloped.
Comrade Bui Dinh Long affirmed: The year 2025 is of special importance, as it is the year of the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, leading up to the 14th National Party Congress. To continue promoting the achieved results, overcoming shortcomings and limitations, the Department of Culture and Sports needs to advise on solutions to effectively implement the Government's Cultural Development Strategy to 2030 in the province; well and effectively organize cultural, physical training and sports activities to celebrate major holidays of the province and the country.
In addition, the industry needs to focus on exploiting the economic potential of cultural industries associated with promoting national cultural identity; promoting the application of science and technology; implementing digital transformation in the industry's fields; continuing to build a streamlined, effective and efficient organizational apparatus; rectifying discipline and order in performing tasks of cadres, civil servants and public employees...
