Speaking at the conference, Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuoc - President of the Nghe An Province Literature and Arts Association highly appreciated many young writers who have found new directions of discovery with multi-dimensional thinking. Along with that, the situation of literary and artistic creation in the province has developed a lot, with more and more works appearing, including some works with depth in ideology and art.

However, besides the achievements, Nghe An's literary and artistic activities still have many limitations and shortcomings. Specifically, the number of works appearing every year is large but there are no works that have made a splash, creating a major event in the life of literature, art and society. The work of promoting literary and artistic works to the public has not been as expected.
