Khanh Hoa (VNA) – The Khanh Hoa provincial People's Committee and Ulsan city of the Republic of Korea (RoK) organised a cultural exchange in Nha Trang city of the south-central Vietnamese province on December 20.

The event aimed to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the Vietnam - RoK diplomatic relations (December 22, 1992 - 2024) and the 22nd anniversary of cooperative ties between Khanh Hoa and Ulsan (April 19, 2002 - 2024).

Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the Khanh Hoa provincial People's Committee Dinh Van Thieu highlighted that since the establishment of cooperative ties in 2002, Khanh Hoa and Ulsan have achieved remarkable strides across various fields, gradually becoming key partners of each other.

In 2024, to continue promoting multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and the RoK in general, as well as between the two localities in particular, the Khanh Hoa People's Committe and the Ulsan administration signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). The MoU focuses on key areas of cooperation such as mutual visits, tourism, culture, sports, human resources training, and people-to-people exchange.

For his part, Lee Hee Seok, President of the Ulsan Federation of Culture and Arts Organisations, said he hopes that this programme would help introduce the Korean culture to the Vietnamese people, and that cooperation between Ulsan and Khanh Hoa will continue to flourish so that more cultural exchanges will be held in the future.

The event, themed Ulsan Arirang, introduced the Vietnamese and Korean cultures through performances of traditional musical instruments, court dances, folk dances, modern dances, solo theatrical performances, and traditional songs from both countries. Additionally, the event showcased lively and youthful K-Pop performances praising the beauty of nature, people, culture, and history of the RoK./.
