Policies on ethnic affairs and culture must be people-centred, ensuring that ethnic minority communities can participate in, contribute to and benefit from the country's development. Supporting ethnic minorities, including the Cham people, is not only a political responsibility but also a humanitarian commitment, said Vice State President Vo Thi Anh Xuan.
Under the theme “Preserving and promoting Cham cultural identity in a new era”, the festival will also contribute to safeguarding traditional Cham cultural values in tandem with sustainable tourism development.
Over three days, the festival will feature a vibrant line-up of cultural, artistic, sporting and tourism activities, including performances and showcases of traditional Cham rituals and festivals, exhibitions promoting local Cham heritage, demonstrations of traditional crafts, mass art performances, traditional costume shows, folk games and sports, as well as a community tourism skills competition.
