He asked the MCST to send representatives to participate in the organising committee and sub-committees, and coordinate to prepare for the Vietnamese delegation’s participation in the session about cultural and human values in sustainable development.

The ministry was also requested to work with other parties to organise activities introducing Vietnam’s culture and tourism to delegates while holding youth exchanges and dialogues, exhibitions on startup, innovation and digital transformation, along with musical performances as part of the conference.
