The plan sets specific responsibilities and mechanisms for closer cooperation among departments, agencies, people's committees of districts and relevant units to fulfill the target.
Ha Noi aims that by 2025, the capital city's cultural industry will become an important economic sector, creating a new driving force for economic, cultural and social development; honoring and developing the brand "City for Peace" or "Creative City".
The Capital will focus on developing a number of sectors that have advantages and potentials, including cultural tourism, handicrafts, performing arts, cinema, design, cuisine, software and games entertainment, advertising, architecture, television and radio, publishing, fashion, among others.
Ha Noi would be an influential "Creative City" in Southeast Asia, and would be listed in the group of competitive cities in the region and the world.
