Vietnam Develops ties with UNESCO for National Development

Speaking at the event, Deputy Foreign Minister and Chairman of the commission Ha Kim Ngoc looked back at achievements in cooperation with UNESCO last year, including the country’s election to the Inter-Governmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage for the 2022-2026 tenure with the highest number of votes.

Vietnam is now a member of three important UNESCO mechanisms, namely the Executive Board in the 2021-2025 tenure, the Inter-Governmental Committee for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in the 2021-2025 tenure, and the Inter-Governmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the 2022-2026 tenure. Vietnam’s role and position in the multilateral forum have been increasingly improved.

Ngoc noted that the UNESCO Director-General made an official visit to the country in September 2022, during which she expressed her impression of Vietnam’s socioeconomic achievements.

The commission set out several key tasks for this year, including studying UNESCO’s ideas to fine-tune policies and legal documents in the fields of education, culture, science, information, and communications; promoting public-private partnerships and pooling social resources for UNESCO’s activities, and further upholding its role as an active and proactive member in important mechanisms to which Vietnam is a member.

UNESCO Representative in Vietnam Christian Manhart said this year, UNESCO will continue assisting the network of creative cities, sustainable tourism, local handicrafts, heritage brands, and policy dialogue on the cultural industry (movie) in Vietnam. In addition, the UNESCO Office in Vietnam will jointly hold a conference on the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

According to him, the Office will also step up initiatives for young and creative people, international forums and networks connecting Hanoi with Asia and Europe.

Bui Le Thanh, a 20-something woman residing in HCM City, loves going to Da Lat. Though she visits Da Lat twice a year, upon her return home she immediately plans her next trip to the city. “People say spring is the best season in Da Lat, but I think Da Lat is beautiful and romantic in every season,” she said. “Da Lat always has attractions to lure people for their first time or many times later.” Its cool weather, lines of green pines swinging in fading sunlight and flowers of various colours bring the city a romantic air. “I decided to take this trip to Da Lat quite suddenly and accidentally,” she told Việt Nam News. “I just saw a photo of cherry blossoms on my friend’s Facebook.
