Festival connects Vietnamese, Lao culture
Vientiane (VNA) – The Vietnam-Laos Cultural
Festival took place at the Vietnam Cultural Centre in Laos’ capital city of Vientiane
on April 17.
The event, organised by the Association for
Liaison with Overseas Vietnamese in collaboration with the Vietnam Business Association in
Vientiane and Vietnam Cultural Centre in Laos, aimed to popularise typical images and culture of Vietnam to Vietnamese as
well as Lao people living and working in the capital city.
The event not only contributed to strengthening bonds and
deepening the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive
cooperation between Vietnam and Laos, but also created opportunities for
businesses of the two countries to meet, exchange and share experiences,
investment cooperation as well as market development for mutual interest, according to the organisers.
A variety of activities were held during the festival,
including special art performances highlighting the unique cultures of Vietnam
and Laos.
Pavilions featuring wooden furniture and handicraft items from businesses from both countries as well as costumes of Vietnamese ethnic groups were also organised. Particularly, visitors had a chance to get calligraphy works./.
