Throughout his revolutionary life and career, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong always demonstrated a profound dedication to the cause of national culture building and development.
In most of his speeches at Party and State conferences, the party leader dedicated significant content and time to discussing and elucidating culture and the aspiration to revive and develop the national culture.
Addressing the ceremony marking the 75th founding anniversary of the Alliance of Arts and Literature Associations of Vietnam exactly one year ago, General Secretary Trong conveyed the noble mission of artists in the new era, also advising: "Each artist must renew themselves" and "art must illuminate life, not just reflect it."
In the last days of his life, the Party chief agreed to publish the book Building and Developing Advanced Vietnamese Culture with a Strong National Identity.
The writings, speeches, and talks of the Party General Secretary in this book serve as a “Guiding Light,” outlining the direction for the movement and development of a progressive Vietnamese culture with a strong national identity.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has passed away, but his legacy to the cultural sector remains immensely valuable. His exceptional contributions to national construction and defence, especially in the field of culture, will endure through time./.
