RESOLUTION OF THE NINTH CONFERENCE OF THE 11TH CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE PARTY

on building and developing Vietnamese culture and people to meet the requirements
sustainable national development

A- SITUATION AND CAUSES

After 15 years of implementing the Resolution of the 8th Central Committee, the cause of building and developing Vietnamese culture and people has had positive changes, achieving important results. Theoretical thinking about culture has developed; cultural awareness of all levels, sectors and the whole population has been raised. The cultural life of the people is increasingly rich, many traditional cultural values ​​of the nation are promoted, many new cultural and ethical standards are formed. Cultural products, literature and art are increasingly rich and diverse; information technology, especially mass media, has developed strongly. Many cultural movements and activities have achieved specific and practical results; promoting the cultural traditions of families, clans, communities... The socialization of cultural activities is increasingly expanded, contributing significantly to the building of cultural institutions. Many tangible and intangible cultural heritages are preserved and embellished; Many customs and practices of ethnic minorities have been studied, collected and restored; people's beliefs, religions and spiritual and cultural activities have received attention. State management of culture has been strengthened, cultural institutions have been gradually improved. The team working in culture and arts has matured; the creative freedom of artists has been respected. International cultural exchanges and cooperation have flourished.

However, compared to the achievements in the fields of politics, economics, national defense, security, and foreign affairs, the achievements in the field of culture are not commensurate; they are not enough to effectively impact the building of people and a healthy cultural environment. The state of degradation in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in the Party and in society tends to increase. Cultural and spiritual life in many places is still poor and monotonous; the gap in cultural enjoyment between mountainous, remote, and urban areas and among the people is slow to narrow. The cultural environment still has unhealthy, foreign conditions, contrary to traditional customs and practices; social evils and crimes tend to increase. There are few literary and artistic works with high ideological and artistic value; some works follow trivial tastes, are of low quality, and are even harmful. Theoretical and critical activities in literature and art have not kept up with the practical creation.

The preservation and promotion of cultural heritage values ​​are not very effective, and the risk of fading away has not been prevented. The mass media system has developed without scientific planning, causing waste of resources and management that cannot keep up with development. Some media agencies have shown signs of commercialization, deviating from their principles and purposes. Mechanisms and policies on economics in culture, culture in economics, and on mobilizing and managing resources for culture are not specific and clear. The system of cultural institutions and material and technical facilities for cultural activities is still lacking and weak, in some places degraded, lacking uniformity, and low efficiency. The work of planning, training, and arranging cultural leaders and managers at all levels, especially high-quality human resources, still has many limitations and inadequacies. The situation of importing, promoting, and absorbing foreign cultural products easily and unselectively has negatively impacted the cultural life of a part of the people, especially the young generation.

The main causes of the above limitations and weaknesses are that many Party committees and authorities have not paid enough attention to this field; leadership and direction have not been resolute. The concretization and institutionalization of the Party's Resolutions have been slow, lacking in uniformity and in some cases lacking feasibility. State management of culture has been slow to be renewed, at times and in some places it has been taken lightly, even loosened; discipline and order are not strict. Investment in the cultural field is not commensurate and is still scattered. New cultural issues have not been promptly grasped to invest in the right direction and effectively. Due attention has not been paid to training and fostering human resources working in the cultural field, especially the team of leaders and managers at all levels.
