Dear delegates, good afternoon,
My name is Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong
First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam, allow me to express my sincere thanks to the Asia Cultural Co-operation Forum 2022 in Hong Kong. I wish Hong Kong a better future and the relationship between Vietnam and China will become closer and friendlier. On this beautiful day of transition from winter to spring, I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone.
Today I feel very honored to be here to give my opinion on the current status and prospects of cultural exchange between Vietnam and China.
1. The annual meeting mechanism between the cultural management agencies of the two countries is constantly being improved.
On the basis of cultural cooperation between the two countries in 2017, in 2018, the annual meeting mechanism between the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of The People's Republic of China has been continuously improved.
2. The Chinese Cultural Center in Hanoi plays the role of a bridge for cultural cooperation.
After the establishment of the Hanoi Chinese Cultural Center, a large number of activities have been carried out to promote and promote Chinese culture. In July 2019, the center jointly organized the exhibition and seminar "Development and Promotion of Culture and Tourism Industry" with the Guangxi Department of Culture and Tourism and the National Library of Vietnam. The exhibition showcases more than 200 handicraft products from five museums in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
3. Cooperation in the protection of cultural heritage.
Both China and Vietnam are countries with a long history, having a large number of tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO. Cultural heritage protection is one of the key points of cultural exchanges between the two countries. The "Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in the Protection of Cultural Heritage" signed by the two countries has created a basis for the two countries to strengthen.
4. Cultural industry cooperation
Cultural industry has become the focus of cultural development of Vietnam and China. The formation of a national policy by Vietnam and China will certainly help the cultural management industries and cultural enterprises of the two countries exchange and cooperate for mutual development.
Cultural industry has the dual nature of economy and culture, the development of cultural industries of the two countries not only brings economic benefits to the two countries but also contributes to enhancing cultural exchanges between people. The two countries, deepening the friendship between the two peoples.
In short, cultural exchanges between Vietnam and China in recent years have achieved encouraging results. Many cultural exchange activities between the two countries have contributed to promoting the cultural cooperation between Vietnam and China into a stage of multi-dimensional interaction and comprehensive development. Practice has proven that the Vietnam - China cultural cooperation mechanism and implementation measures are correct. The achievements of people-to-people exchanges and cultural exchanges between Vietnam and China are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Firstly, leaders of the two countries and local authorities at all levels attach great importance to people-to-people exchanges and cultural exchange between the two countries; second, the two peoples actively participate in exchanges in many fields; third, the two countries have established the fourth annual cultural industry cooperation relationship between Vietnam and China, the most important achievement is that the leaders of the two sides have reached an agreement on enhancing exchanges and cooperation, and both believe that cultural industry cooperation is a key area of cultural cooperation between the two countries. The geographical proximity and cultural connection will further promote the in-depth development of cultural industry cooperation between the two countries.
Wish the 2022 Asia Cultural Co-operation Forum a great success.
