Over the past more than 30 years of the renewal process of the nation, the folk arts and literature sector has developed with the growth of researchers and artists and diverse activities.

With its principle of “collection, research, popularization and teaching folk arts and literature of Vietnamese ethnic groups”, the association has become one of the regular forces in preserving and bringing into full play artistic and literary values rich in the nation’s traditional identities.

In her speech, Politburo member and Permanent Vice Chairwoman of the National Assembly Tong Thi Phong applauded the association’s staff for their accomplishment and contribution.
