Strengthening the position of national culture in the international integration
Strengthening the position of national culture in the international integration
14/2/16
A significant cultural achievement in the reform era
is that we not only focus on preserving and promoting the cultural values of
the nation, but also acquire various types of selective cultural activities from
foreign countries. Besides importing foreign cultural products such as movies,
photos, books, music CDs and recieving hundreds of union, group of singers,
artists from other countries to Vietnam to participate in performances and
exchanges to the public, we also see the "explosion" of many kinds of
new cultural activities such as beauty pageants, dance, installation art,
performance art, pop-art, video- art, digital-art ... Many festivals from
abroad into Vietnam are also enthusiastically received in youth, such as
Valentine's Day (February 14th), Carnival Halloween (October 31st),
Christmas Day (December 25th)... The form of the new culture has
enriched the spiritual life of the people of Vietnam, confirmed the consistent
policy of our State is always create favorable conditions for people to access
and enjoy the cultural values and humanism both from domestic and foreign
countries.
The open door policy to the world also create
conditions for Vietnam's cultural image to shine in the sky of humanity. Since 1993, after the relics of the
ancient capital of Hue was recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, 20
heritages of Vietnam have been honored. Notably, among 20 world cultural heritages
of Vietnam honored by UNESCO for more than two decades, there are only two
natural heritage and one mixture heritage, the rest are 17 tangible and
intangible cultural heritage. This does not include the last early December of 2015,
the heritage of “keo co” in 4 countries including Vietnam, Cambodia,
Philippines and South Korea have been enrolled in the list of intangible
cultural heritage of humanity. The vivid example is in sharp contrast with a
shortsighted view that, Vietnamese culture “refuses to integrate into human
culture” (!).
Culture is not only the face, the image of the
country, but also the vitality and tremendous power of ethnic communities.
Vietnam pays attention to promote cultural development not only to strengthen
and enhance the "soft power" of the country, but also confirm the
position of national culture in the context of current globalization. Along
with the great achievements in the field of economy, social, defense, security,
foreign affairs, cultural achievements have demonstrated innovative ways of
Party, State and people initiated in 1986 is completely correct, suitable with
the trend of times and as a motivation to push our country continuing grow in
the coming years.

uilding upon an age-old culture, inherited the nation's historical heritage, and given its ability to create “soft power” in the process of renewal and international integration
Viet Nam has been well aware of the importance of cultural diplomacy in achieving the goal of national interests, and has taken specific actions to promote this positive and effective form of diplomacy.
In practice, Viet Nam has used cultural diplomacy as cultural tools to establish, maintain and develop external relations in order to achieve the objective of national fundamental interests including development, security and expansion of its international influence.
cultural diplomacy appeared very early in various forms of expression in each country
at present, cultural diplomacy has its own mission, but there is no denying that, culture and diplomacy have very close ties.
diplomatic activities in some ways are exposure and exchange of cultural values and ideas, thus diplomacy is also considered cultural activities serving national interests.
in the context of globalization, culture becomes more important in the meaning of "soft power" in the national synergy.
Culture has strong penetrating power, and can achieve goals that political and military measures can hardly gain.
Cultural channel has been used as an effective means of support to political, security, economic relations.
cultural diplomacy involves using culture as target and mean to achieve major objectives of national foreign policy, create good image of the country, and promote national culture and language in the world.
Vietnam is one of the countries which have the most heritages recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.
more foreign tourists have come to see and explore Vietnam's heritages
we should focus on preserving and promoting the cultural values of the nation as well as acquire various types of selective cultural activities from foreign countries.
the culture will make significant contribution to improve the national prestige and image, so we should attach important to it
