Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mrs. Trinh Thi Thuy, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, affirmed that the joint program was implemented effectively at 43 provinces and cities in 2017 thanks to the unified direction from the central to local levels, as well as close and responsible cooperation of the two agencies. This 5-year joint program requires more precise participation of the related ministries and localities. With the closer involvement of the local authorities and the overcoming of last year’s obstacles and difficulties, hopefully the joint program will be successful as expected.
