In 2020, the culture and sports industry has continued to maintain the tradition of the industry, decisively and drastically developing the culture and building an image of elegant and civilized Hanoians. Hanoi still maintains its goal of gathering, summarizing and spreading cultural values. Thanks to the whole industry’s great efforts, the industry’s position has been increasingly raised among leaders as well as people. In particular, according to the report on the resolution of the 17th Party Congress of Hanoi City, culture is one of the striking contents to be highlighted and paid attention by leaders from the central to the city level. In 2020, despite the very complicated situation of the pandemic, the Cultural industry was determined to bring the City Party Committee’s program 04-CTr/TU on “Socio-cultural development, improvement of Hanoi’s human resources quality, and building an image of elegant and civilized Hanoians” into reality and achieved high results. The Department conducted propaganda on building an image of elegant and civilized Hanoians among households and living quarters. As the initial results, 02 codes of conduct, especially the code of conduct of civil servants, public employees and employees have been implemented efficiently. In 2020, there were few outstanding cases related to the conduct of civil servants, public employees and employees. Public behavior has been initially improved.
