The conclusion announcement stated that Vietnamese culture is the crystallization of thousands of years of civilization, creative labor, and steadfast struggle to build and defend the country by the Vietnamese ethnic community, and is the result of the exchange and absorption of the quintessence of many cultures in the world to constantly improve and develop.

Talking about cultural industry is referring to industries that produce artistic and creative products, whether tangible or intangible in nature; through exploiting cultural values ​​and products and services of intellectual, social and cultural significance to gain economic benefits.

Over the years, the Party and State have issued and effectively implemented many guidelines, policies, and laws to develop culture and cultural industry, including: Resolution No. 03-NQ/TW of the 8th Central Committee (Resolution No. 03-NQ/TW dated July 16, 1998) on building and developing an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity.

Resolution of the 12th National Congress of Delegates, Resolution of the 13th National Congress of Delegates of the Party...

With the special attention of the Party, the State and the participation of all levels, sectors and localities, over the past time, cultural industries have gradually become important service economic sectors; capital investment in cultural industries has promoted the cultural industry market to make new strides, reflected in the contribution rate to GDP, the number of economic establishments and labor force, database construction, human resource training, application of science and technology and digital transformation, network connection, cultural centers and creative spaces.

However, compared to some other industries, our country's cultural industries have not yet developed commensurate with the country's distinct potential, outstanding opportunities, and competitive advantages; still facing limitations, difficulties, and challenges, typically: The role of state management, responsibilities, and powers in some fields have not been clearly defined; coordination mechanisms are not synchronous; mechanisms and policies have not kept up with reality, implementation in some industries and fields is not effective; the content and form of products and services are still limited, and key products and services have not been identified.

Cultural industry development must be placed within the overall socio-economic development.

In the era of globalization and deep international integration, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution posing many new challenges and difficulties, the development of cultural industry must be based on the following basic viewpoints: Adhering closely to the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws; placed in the overall socio-economic development, making an important contribution to building an advanced Vietnamese culture, with identity, unity in diversity and based on innovation, science and technology, and protection of intellectual property rights; developing with focus and key points, in accordance with the basic laws of the market economy and the trends of the times; closely linked with promoting and spreading the image of the country and Vietnamese people and preserving and promoting the national cultural identity; meeting the factors of "Creativity - Identity - Uniqueness - Professionalism - Healthiness - Competition - Sustainability" on the basis of "Nation - Science - Mass"; Step by step build a national brand, participate in the global value chain; select and implement a number of breakthrough policies; need "sharp thinking, sharp action, select the best to break through to develop" Vietnam's cultural industries.

In the coming period, the implementation of tasks and solutions must be synchronous, drastic, persistent, focused, and key, focusing on breakthrough policies to transform "potential" cultural resources into highly competitive cultural products and services.

All levels, sectors, localities, agencies and organizations need to be more determined, make greater efforts, act more decisively and effectively; be proactive, focused, closely coordinated, encourage all exploration and creativity, respect creative freedom; focus on industries with great potential and advantages (such as cinema, performing arts, cultural tourism, handicrafts, design, software and entertainment games...) so that by 2030 the added value of cultural industries will contribute highly to GDP.
