As the international community inaugurates the “Decade of Culture for Sustainable Development (2026–2035)”, UNESCO formally acknowledges and commends the promulgation of Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Viet Nam. This important document represents a significant shift in the development paradigm, formally recognizing culture not merely as an auxiliary sector, but as one of the four indispensable and co-equal pillars of sustainable development—alongside the Economy, Society, and the Environment.
