Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen The Ky, Chairman of the Central Council for the Theory and Criticism of Literature, expressed his belief in the nation's "new era" during an interview with the VietnamTimes.

General Secretary To Lam, in his recent articles and speeches, emphasized that Vietnam is at a pivotal moment, converging all advantages and strengths to usher the country into a new era of nation's rise. This new era follows the era of independence, freedom, building socialism, and innovation. The General Secretary has clearly outlined the foundations for setting goals and seizing historical opportunities to propel the country into this era of national growth.

Culture, as the repository of a nation's essence, not only preserves identity but also serves as a strategic asset to elevate Vietnam's standing among international peers. Amid Vietnam's modernization efforts, culture serves as a soft power, strengthening national unity and projecting a positive, friendly, and vibrant image to the global community. Thus, cultivating culture alongside socio-economic development will be a paramount task for Vietnam to assert its position and identity in the new era.

In his closing remark at the 10th plenum of the Communist Party of Vietnam's Central Committee in the 13th term, General Secretary To Lam said that with the position and strength gained after 40 years of Doi Moi (Renovation), with the consensus and joint efforts of the Party, people, and army, with new opportunities and advantages, under the leadership of the Party, Vietnam has all the necessary conditions to enter a new era, an era of nation's rise.
