The delegates discussed the Party's guidelines and orientations to fine-tune institutions and policies, and mobilize resources for building a Vietnamese culture of "nationality, democracy, and humanity, and science”. They also proposed solutions to preserve and promote cultural values of ethnic minorities and reviewed the implementation of the Cultural Diplomacy Strategy.

Nguyen Xuan Thang, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, said: “Institutional improvement should pay special attention to cultural leadership, management, and development. The State perfects the legal framework, creates a development environment, uses tools and policies to regulate the development of cultural fields, ensures the right to create and enjoy culture of all people. Cultural development always starts from the people, who are the center, the beneficiaries, the organizers of cultural activities, the providers of services, and the implementers of the State's policies and laws.”

Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Communications and Education Nguyen Trong Nghia said: “It is necessary to shape cultural management methods, harmonize social and economic efficiency, and ensure the ultimate goal of serving the interests of the community and people. Cultural economic policies should be improved to develop a healthy cultural market and a cultural industry. It’s important to produce many high-quality cultural products with high artistic value and great influence to contribute to national construction and innovation, and spread the good values of the Party and the Vietnamese nation and people.”
