An exhibition entitled “Tourism and Culture Space – Integration and Outreach” officially opened on September 6 in Quy Nhon Ward, Gia Lai Province. Bringing together 16 provinces and cities from across the country, the event has attracted thousands of domestic and international visitors.

Ninh Bình is accelerating the digitalisation of its rich heritage, using 3D scanning, virtual reality, QR codes and digital databases to preserve historical and cultural values while creating new ways for people and visitors to discover the province’s heritage.

Alongside institutional improvements and the creation of mechanisms to mobilise social resources and state budget funds to bring Vietnamese-origin antiquities held overseas back to the country, the cultural sector is gradually developing a comprehensive and modern heritage conservation and promotion ecosystem.

UNESCO Director-General Khaled El-Enany hailed the UN General Assembly’s proclamation of the International Decade of Culture for Sustainable Development (2027–2036), thanking Vietnam for promoting the initiative, as well as all co-sponsoring countries and the Group of Friends for Culture at the UN for their support.

The resolution designates 2027-36 as the International Decade of Culture for Sustainable Development, providing a long-term framework for countries and the international community to step up action and further integrate culture into development policies.
