Secretary Nen made the statement at a meeting with a team carrying out a survey on culture - society and human development to serve the work of summarizing 40 years of implementing the renovation process. Secretary Nen emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City must continue and strongly preserve and promote spiritual and cultural resources to create endogenous strength in building and protecting the Fatherland.
Speaking at the meeting, Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen emphasized that the review in the field of culture - society and building Vietnamese people in Ho Chi Minh City has contributed to the summarization of theory and practice during the 40-year implementation of socialist-oriented innovation in the country.
According to him, this is a broad, large, diverse and rich issue, requiring careful, comprehensive and thorough research. The summary is the interaction between people and is expressed in each individual and each surrounding relationship. It is diverse over time and is not limited by space, ethnicity or religion.
Practice in Ho Chi Minh City is extremely rich and diverse; therefore, although there have been many summaries of the Central Government's resolutions, it is still not possible to state them all. That practice is also shown through thematic summaries, books and articles written by many leaders, researchers, and art critics about Ho Chi Minh City. This is a treasure that needs to be read and researched further to find the value system in the field of culture which the Party Committee, government and city dwellers have taken over the past 40 years and before that.
