The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Committee for Ethnic Minority Groups have held a seminar to collect ideas about establishing the Vietnamese ethnic minority day.
The establishment of this day aims to educate expand patriotic
tradition, national pride, and promote the awareness and responsibility of
preserving and promoting ethnic cultural traditions and strengthening great
national unity.
It also aims to honour the cultural identity of
Vietnamese ethnic minority groups for an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with
national identity; help ethnic groups in Vietnam understand more about each
other; and help each other in socio-economic and cultural development.
The organizing board said that April 19th 1946 meets several criteria
for the ethnic minority day. On that day, President Ho chi minh sent a letter to
the congress of southern ethnic minorities held in the Central Highlands city of
Pleiku. The letter had deep significance on national unity.
Therefore,
selecting April 19th as Vietnamese ethnic minority day is suitable. After the
seminar, ministries and relevant agencies will complete the project, and the
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Committee for Ethnic
Minority Groups will submit it to the Prime Minister for approval.
