According to the committee, the year 2024 is recording many positive signals in the development of Việt Nam's cultural industry.

Especially, the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2024, the concerts and TV shows titled “Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Trông Gai” (Call Me By Fire Vietnam) and “Anh Trai Say Hi” (Say Hi Never Say Goodbye) have created positive effects, contributing to promoting the development of the cultural industry.

The later two television shows have created a bright spot for the performing arts industry – one of Việt Nam's 12 key cultural industry sectors.

“In the context of many fluctuations in the country and the world, the Culture, Sports and Tourism industry has made many efforts, achieved positive results, and contributed to the country's socio-economic development,” Vũ said.
