Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Consul General in Vladivostok Nguyen Viet Kien said the festival introduced Vietnam and its people to Russian people, helping strengthen people-to-people exchanges and expand cooperation in culture, the economy, trade, and tourism.
Through music, cuisine, folk cultural activities, and the promotion of Vietnam’s development potential, the festival sought to bring Vietnam closer to people in Vladivostok and the wider Far East. A highlight was the “Ao Dai Festival – Colors of Vietnam,” which showcased the evolution of Vietnam’s traditional dress through different historical periods.
Visitors also had the opportunity to learn more about Vietnam’s Dong Ho folk paintings, bamboo dancing, tourist destinations, economic potential, and cooperation opportunities between the two countries.
