Ho Chi Minh City Promotes 'Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space' in Digital Realm

Ho Chi Minh City is advancing the creation of a 'Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space' by disseminating President Ho Chi Minh's life, achievements, and ideology in the digital realm. This initiative, a creative decision by the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, aims to make learning and following his teachings more relevant and effective in a rapidly digitizing society. The focus is on building this cultural space online, in conjunction with the development of the cultural industry. Digital platforms are being utilized to consolidate and disseminate information about President Ho Chi Minh, creating an accessible environment for citizens. This is expected to widely spread his ideals and moral principles, particularly among the younger generation, serving as a model in their daily lives and work. Furthermore, the wave of digitalization extends to administrative services. Data digitization for the maintenance and repair of the 'Ho Chi Minh City Road' is also underway, aiming for efficient management and operation. Citizen participation through online platforms is also encouraged to promote grassroots democracy, aligning with the Vietnamese government's broader policy of reflecting citizens' voices and enhancing governance transparency within its one-party system. Vietnam is currently experiencing rapid economic growth, but adapting to digitalization is a significant challenge. The promotion of culture and ideology using digital spaces is positioned as a key strategy for strengthening national unity and developing socialist values. In its relations with China, Vietnam maintains its economic dependence while balancing its geopolitical stance, making the strengthening of its domestic social and cultural foundations essential for national stability and development.
