On July 22nd, 2026, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued Official Dispatch No. 4538/BVHTTDL-DSVH to Hue City People’s Committee, expressing its support for Hue in preparing an application to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) in the field of Gastronomy. This is an important step, providing further political and professional support for the city to concentrate resources, complete its application and work toward the 2027 selection cycle.

Among about 3,000 dishes documented nationwide, over 1,700 are believed to be prepared in Hue styles, bearing the distinctive hallmarks of the former imperial capital’s cuisine. This rich culinary heritage is one of the key reasons that Hue has chosen gastronomy as the focus of its application to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN).

Thanks to the application of artificial intelligence (AI), many of Hue’s heritage values are being retold by young people in an entirely new “language”. Historic structures and symbolic cultural icons, long associated with an atmosphere of antiquity and quiet elegance, are now being brought to life through digital creations, contributing to taking Hue Ancient Capital’s image closer to young audiences.

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary education was among the key issues discussed at a thematic seminar organized by the Faculty of Primary Education, the University of Education, Hue University, on June 6.

On the morning of April 9, Hue Central Hospital announced the successful surgical treatment of a malignant mandibular tumor in a 14-year-old patient, marking an important advancement in the application of high-tech techniques and multidisciplinary coordination in managing complex maxillofacial conditions.

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) not only brings technological convenience, but also opens up a completely different method of teaching and learning, marking an important turning point for Hue’s education sector on its digital transformation journey.

Since the operation of the two-tier local government model, Hue Intelligent Operations Center (HueIOC), along with Hue-S super application has become the core infrastructure for the operating work of Hue City. The system not only helps the government operate efficiently and transparently, but also plays the role of an inter-level coordination axis, ensuring data is connected uniformly and citizens' feedback is processed quickly and accurately.

From December 5th to 7th, at UK Academy Hue, the Department of Education and Training (DOET) organized training sessions on digital transformation in teaching, assessment, and school management, focusing on the use of the LMS360 system and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational activities.
