Talking to officials and reporters of Nghe An Newspaper about some viewpoints and perceptions of the development model of society, Dr. Vu Ngoc Hoang said, "No matter how society wants to develop, it must be based on the fundamental values ​​of culture. If we say that politics is the foundation of culture, it is the opposite."

According to Dr. Vu Ngoc Hoang, culture is the trace of human in nature. Economics and politics are both made by humans, so everything must be based on culture, with humans as the center. Thus, the first, regular and final "battle" for us to build society is culture. And building a healthy culture requires respecting two factors: humanity and honesty.

Because that is the “area” that life requires to be resolved, just like avoiding a hot battlefield is no different than handing over the battlefield to the enemy.

At the meeting, Dr. Vu Ngoc Hoang hoped that the reporters of Nghe An Newspaper would continue to promote the role and responsibility of the Labor Hero unit in the renovation period, contributing to the development of the locality and the country./.
