Following the mainstream of patriotism and humanism, Vietnamese literature and art have constantly explored and innovated in content and creative methods, with many attractive, vivid and profound works on historical themes, revolutionary wars and real life, including works of high ideological and artistic value.

Nguyen Trong Nghia requested that central and local departments, ministries and branches continue to fully and deeply grasp and effectively implement the Party's resolutions on culture, literature and art and the important instructions of General Secretary To Lam at a meeting with representatives of artists and writers from across the country on December 30, 2024.

It is necessary to strengthen communication, further raising awareness of the very important position and role of literature and art, thereby raising the sense of responsibility, making appropriate decisions, and creating motivation for the team of artists to be creative and dedicated.

More than 130 typical presentations were presented at the conference, contributing to clarifying many theoretical and practical issues arising in contemporary literary and artistic life.
