Tallinn (VNA) – Evelin Oras, spouse of Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal has hosted a cozy lunch for Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s spouse Le Thi Bich Tran as part of activities within the Vietnamese Government leader’s official visit to the Northern European nation.

The Vietnamese lady took the occasion to present a meaningful gift to the host - a mosaic of the Estonian PM and his wife crafted from nearly 2,000 pieces of fabric.

Tran said that this unique art work was made by 10 disabled artisans at the Vun Art Cooperative - an economic model established in 2018 to preserve and introduce traditional culture, create jobs for the disabled, and utilise surplus materials in production to protect the environment.

Through the art work, Tran wished to convey the message of environmental protection, sustainable economic development as well as the preservation of Vietnamese silk village culture. The work also demonstrates the perseverance, efforts to rise up, and the spirit of overcoming difficulties, integrating with the community and making positive contributions to society of the disadvantaged people in Vietnam.

Oras could not hide her emotion, saying that she is extremely grateful and touched by this special and meaningful gift.

Earlier, the two ladies visited the Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn College of Music and Ballet (MUBA), and Maison Lili Jahilo design centre.

Tran showed her impression of the way Estonia promotes the country's cultural value, expressing her hope that Estonia will share experience with Vietnam in promoting and preserving cultural values in the future./.
