The head of the News and Current Affairs Channel at VOV1, Nguyen Vu Duy said the program aims to implement the Party Resolution on the Strategy on sustainable development of Vietnam’s marine economy to 2023, with a vision to 2045. Under this resolution the purely marine economic sectors will contribute 10% to the national GDP.

The program also conveys a message about national pride and determination to defend national sovereignty over the country’s sea and islands and about Vietnam’s aspiration to master the sea, while harvesting its riches and defending peace at sea. Mr. Duy, who is also deputy chief of the organizing board, said: “This program highlights the sea conscience in each Vietnamese person and spreads that conscience, which has been fostered throughout generations and is reflected in historical stories and the development of the marine economic sector. This will be a meaningful program to disseminate information about sea and island work.”
Over the past several months, artists at the VOV Orchestra have been working hard to prepare for the program.
