​(News Portal – Dong Nai) - On December 17, the Dong Nai Literature and Arts Association held a ceremony to celebrate the 45th anniversary of its establishment (December 22, 1979 - December 22, 2024). 

Delegates attending the anniversary ceremony.

Present at the ceremony were: Mr. Nguyen Son Hung, Deputy Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Trang, Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Communication and Dissemination Department; along with a large number of members from various specialized committees of the Association.

During the ceremony, delegates recalled the history of formation and development of the Dong Nai Literature and Arts Association. Specifically, on July 31, 1979, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee issued a decision to establish the Dong Nai Literary Association (now the Dong Nai Literature and Arts Association). From the first congress held on December 12, 1979, with 65 members, the Association now has nearly 300 members.

Over 45 years of labor and creativity, artists in Dong Nai have integrated into the currents of revolutionary, patriotic, national, humanitarian, scientific, and modern art. This is a cultural and artistic foundation that always considers the life of the people as its creative subject. It is a foundation crystallized from the talent and dedication of generations of artists, significantly contributing to shaping the values of cultural thought and literature and arts in the construction, protection, and development of the country today.

In his speech at the ceremony, Deputy Chairman Nguyen Son Hung acknowledged and praised the achievements of the artists of the Dong Nai Literature and Arts Association over the years; he also expressed hope that the Association will serve as a launching pad, motivating artists, especially young writers, to continue creating many works that meet the needs of the public both within and outside the province.
