The Government leader said he believes that Vietnamese writers and artists throughout the country, especially members of the VULAA, would continue to work even harder and contribute further to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.
The VULAA should also be more proactive in implementing the resolutions of the Party Central Committee on the construction and development of Vietnamese culture and people in order to meet the requirements of sustainable development for the country, as well as working towards the construction and development of literature and the arts, he noted.
The union was also assigned the task of boosting the production of high-quality literary works, which are expected to truthfully reflect the breath of life and national construction and defence, while contributing to building an advanced Vietnamese culture.
