Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Vietnamese Permanent Representative to the UN, affirmed that cinema plays a vital role as a cultural bridge, helping the two peoples become closer and understand each other over the 30 years of normalisation, development, and enhancement of bilateral relations.

“Mua tren canh buom” (Don’t cry, Butterfly) garnered accolades at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival and won the MPA’s coveted Best Screenplay award in 2019.
