The Vietnamese Cultural Centre in Laos (VCCL) has acted as a bridge for cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Laos, helping to build upon the traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations.
This was stated by Lao Ambassador to Vietnam Sunthone Sayachak at a ceremony to mark the centre’s 15 th anniversary, in Hanoi on July 21.
On the occasion, the centre received the third-class Labour Order from the Vietnamese State for the great contributions it has made over the past 15 years. First established on August 31, 1995, the VCCL was Vietnam’s first cultural centre overseas.
The centre has carried out a number of cultural and arts activities in Vientiane and many other provinces in Laos. It has provided Vietnamese language books and newspapers to Lao libraries, agencies and government departments as well as organised many training courses for Lao cultural officials.
In 2010, the centre launched a contest for songs written about President Ho Chi Minh, in which many famous Lao musicians took part.
Over the past 15 years, the VCCL has fulfilled its task as an advisor to the former Ministry of Culture and Information and the current Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in defining the content of joint initiatives by the two countries in the fields of culture, sports and tourism./.
