On 07Jan2026, The Politburo has issued the Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW, which highlights the significance of innovation and digital transformation in Viet Nam’s cultural development.Accordingly, Viet Nam will effectively develop and monitor the national cultural data infrastructure and shared digital platforms, ensuring synchronized connectivity with national databases as well as enhance the development of digital content and digital cultural infrastructure.
The Resolution targets to step up the development of digital infrastructure and enhance the application of artificial intelligence (AI), big data, virtual reality technologies, blockchain, and related technologies in cultural production, distribution, consumption, and cultural governance.
Enterprises are encouraged to invest in digital cultural products and services, link culture with tourism, commerce, and technology in order to form value chains and establish cultural innovation centers and digital content–creative hubs.
In this spirit, November 24 has been designated as Việt Nam Culture Day – a fully paid public holiday designed to give people greater opportunities to engage in cultural activities, inspire artists and cultural practitioners to create, and foster cultural and civilised lifestyles across society.
