Viet Nam community culture development association established

ĐTO/NDO- The Viet Nam Community Culture Development Association was officially established at the Viet Nam Institute of Culture, Arts, Sports and Tourism, on August 17, with its inaugural congress.

The Association was founded under Decision No. 677/QD-BNV dated July 1, 2025 issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Its goal is to build the Association into a strong social organisation, serving as a trusted bridge between communities and state management agencies, as well as other social organisations. It aims to preserve, promote and spread both traditional and contemporary cultural values, foster cultural creativity, and link community cultural development with socio-economic growth, ensuring harmony between continuity and innovation, tradition and modernity, preservation and development.
