The forum aims to realize the Party and State’s guidelines and policies on building Vietnamese culture and people to meet the requirements of sustainable development of the country; affirm the role and importance of business culture and corporate culture in national economic development; exploit potentials, strengths and cultural resources as an important lever and support for economic recovery and development. 

As emphasized by Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung at the opening of the Forum, in the current period, our country is facing opportunities and challenges intertwined from the multi-dimensional impacts of globalization and international integration. We have chosen to revive the national culture, protect the cultural identity, and promote the potential and strength of the national culture in building corporate culture and business culture as the core thing. 

Therefore, we should create a healthy business environment, contribute to policy creation and attract foreign investors, promote the endogenous strength of culture to form and develop Vietnam’s cultural industries, build strong Vietnamese enterprises not only able to compete at home but also reach the regional and world level. Each enterprise should become an ambassador to promote the values of Vietnamese people and culture to the world, spreading the “soft power” of Vietnamese culture. 

The forum is also an opportunity for the Party and State’s leaders to meet and discuss with the business community, listen to recommendations, proposals on mechanisms and policies to support enterprises, build corporate culture and business culture, spreading the Campaign to “Build Vietnamese corporate culture” launched by the Prime Minister.
