If the proposal to add a Vietnamese Culture Day is approved by the National Assembly, from 2026 onwards, workers nationwide will have an additional paid holiday, bringing the total number of public holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year) holidays to 12. This is considered a positive change, contributing to improving the spiritual life of workers, creating conditions for them to have more time to rest, regenerate their energy, and participate in cultural and social activities.
