For the first time, information and models of 87 Buddhist national treasures currently preserved in museums, temples, and relic sites across the country are on display.

Vietnam has successfully hosted Vesak three times, in 2008, 2014, and 2019, contributing to promoting the image of a peace-loving, hospitable, and united nation to the international community and reaffirming the consistent policy of the Vietnamese Party and State in respecting and ensuring freedom of belief and religion.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked for thorough preparations for the United Nations Day of Vesak Celebrations in May 2019 to ensure Vietnam’s prestige while chairing a conference on the organisation of the event in Hanoi on December 5.

Vietnam will host the United Nations Day of Vesak Celebrations in 2019 and an international Buddhism conference in the northern province of Ha Nam from May 12-14 next year.
