Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong emphasized that these contests, which took place from August 20 to 26, are vital for preserving and promoting Vietnam’s cultural heritage.
They also serve as a platform for art troupes to discover and nurture the next generation of talented artists and actors. Dong noted that the competitions have successfully unearthed many skilled performers and depicted the intricacies of Vietnamese culture.
Furthermore, artists and actors had the opportunity to exchange experiences, enhance their knowledge, and improve their professional qualifications and the quality of their performances in dance, puppetry, and drama.
“In addition to celebrating the achievements of the contests, we must also assess and identify the development directions of each art form in response to new circumstances. This will allow us to preserve the essence of each art form while making it evolve and flourish in line with societal trends and international integration,” Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong concluded.
