The Government’s report, based on partial datafrom 44 of 63 provinces and direct-controlled municipalities, showed that in2013, 499 galleries and exhibitions were held nationwide. The number rose to589 in 2014 and 694 in 2015. Last year’s estimated figure was 385, as only 27out of 63 provinces and cities recorded this data.
Currently, regulations on galleries andexhibitions are contained in several legal documents, for example, the Law onCommerce regulates market fairs, the Law on Heritages provides for provisionson exhibitions and galleries in museums, in addition to several othersconcerning print publications gallery, photography exhibitions and artgalleries.
The committee agreed that as Vietnam deepensinternational integration, more diverse galleries and exhibitions – in terms offorms, content and organisers – have emerged, necessitating regulations.
The proposed decree regulating exhibitions andgalleries contains 20 items in four chapters.
NA Vice Chairwoman Tong Thi Phong asked theGovernment to be more specific about State management in the decree and who isresponsible for managing and monitoring exhibition and gallery activities.
In the December 13 session, the NA StandingCommittee also unanimously voted for the establishment of Ninh Cuong townshipin Truc Ninh district of Nam Dinh province.
The township of Ninh Cuong is set to be the newname for the current Truc Phu commune. However, the changes will not be toodisruptive, as the ‘Ninh Cuong’ epithet is familiar with Vietnamese people asTruc Phu commune used to be the capital of Ninh Cuong ‘tong,’ (tong isan administrative unit between commune and district, used in feudal Vietnam).
Some 99 percent of Truc Phu commune’s votershave voted in favour of the new name.
According to the NA Standing Committee’s legalcommittee, Truc Phu commune has met the three criteria required to set up atownship, namely population, urban classification (area, political importance,urban infrastructure, etc.) and development.
NA Vice Chairwoman Phong asked that morequalified officials with at least bachelor degrees be appointed in the newtownship’s administration, or more training be given to current ones so theyare “able to handle urban affairs management.”-VNA
