The organizing of the festival also demonstrates the locality’s determination to further promote the significant role of culture in the socio-economic development of Ninh Binh, and contribute to the country’s development, she said.

Xuan showed her belief that the Party Committee and people of the province will continue to fully tap local potential, unique values, and advantages towards becoming a centrally run city by 2035.

The Vice President expressed her hope that the festival will become a unique cultural brand of Ninh Binh and that the province will be one of the leading localities nationwide in developing the cultural industry, and an exemplary model of harmonious combination between the heritage restoration and preservation and green growth and sustainable development.

The locality has focused on promoting economic growth associated with cultural-social development and environmental protection, and attached importance to tapping natural and cultural resources in the process of innovating growth models and restructuring economic sectors for sustainable development.

The festival shows Ninh Binh's efforts and capacity in organizing large-scale cultural events, contributing to realizing its goal of developing its annual festival brand, thus strengthening domestic and international cultural exchange activities, and attracting more tourists to the locality, Ngoc said.
