People's Artist Bui Cong DuyIn the report on documents submitted to the 14th National Party Congress presented by General Secretary To Lam, the word “culture” is mentioned 14 times. Culture is also placed at the center of the national development architecture, as a spiritual foundation, an endogenous strength, a resource, and a driving force for development. VietNamNet spoke with People’s Artist Bui Cong Duy, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Academy of Music, about this issue. How do you, as an artist, feel about the Party and State’s emphasis on culture and the arts? I believe that a country whose leaders understand culture and love the arts, especially classical music, is truly blessed.
