The Outline of Vietnamese Culture drafted by Party General Secretary Truong Chinh was initially approved by the Standing Board of the Party Central Committee at a meeting held in Hanoi back in February, 1943.

It was based on Marxism, the Party, and President Ho Chi Minh's guidelines, emphasising that the content, nature, organisation, and development orientation of a cultural revolution can only be associated with the national liberation revolution and that a cultural revolution can be realised when the political revolution has succeeded.

Over the past eight decades, the values of the Outline of Vietnamese Culture have remained fresh, thereby helping to lead the cause of building and developing an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with a clear national identity. In addition, it has helped to meet the country’s requirements relating to sustainable development in the process of international integration.
