He said that in addition to the promotion of the French culture and language, the Institute will help Vietnam enhance its capability to host massive cultural events and boost cultural exchanges, thus contributing to the flourishing bilateral cooperation.
According to Director of French Institute in Hanoi Thierry Vergon, the relocation from No.24 Trang Tien street to No.8-25 Thien Quan street is needed for the Institute to carry out its new approach. He said he believes its activities to connect the Vietnamese and French culture will help to promote heritage values and benefit economic partnership.
