Vietnamese cultural heritages introduced to UNESCO community

​Cultural heritages and the image of Vietnam, a country with development, renovation, dynamism and unique national identity were introduced to international friends during a recent event in Paris, France.

The event drew more than 100 ambassadors and representatives from countries to UNESCO. Within the event’s framework, an exhibition was held to introduce UNESCO-recognized cultural heritages.

The participants had a chance to enjoy Vietnamese folk music and traditional puppetry performances, as well as special dishes of Vietnam. The Vietnamese cultural beauty left a deep impression on the audience.

Continuous applause from the audience made the artists so happy and a bit surprised.

Currently, Vietnam is serving as a member of the UNESCO Inter-Governmental Committee for Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, and vice chair of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee of the 2005 Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

Vietnam is racing for a seat at the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for the 2023-2027 period, to which members will be elected in November 2023./.
