The Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt introduced many documents,
books, photos and objects on culture, history, country and people of Vietnam,
especially its heroic history and outstanding achievements after 30 years of
reform.
Besides books on tourism introducing exciting
destinations and unique features of regions, there also were maps and documents
on Vietnam’s islands. A video clip entitled “Welcome to Vietnam” and a short
film on President Ho Chi Minh’s life and career were screened at the festival.
Vu Thien, Minister Counsellor of the Vietnamese Embassy, said Egyptian and international friends are
very interested in and highly evaluate Vietnam’s unique cultural features.
In 2017 and upcoming years, the embassy will organise
a series of events under the theme “Following Uncle Ho’s Footsteps.”
