The Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico organised a workshop on October 29 to introduce Vietnam’s culture and tourism potential to Mexican friends.
A representative from the embassy spoke about the geography, history and political system of Vietnam, while introducing attractive destinations in Hanoi, Quang Ninh province, the central region and the Mekong Delta.
Mexican students asked questions about the air route from Mexico to Vietnam, how to learn Vietnamese, the number of international tourists to Vietnam, and measures to protect foreign visitors.
Most of the participants said they were impressed by Vietnam’s long-standing culture and hoped to visit the country in the near future. They also hailed Vietnam’s potential to develop tourism.
The workshop forms part of the ASEAN culture week being held in the Latin American country.
During the event, the Vietnamese Embassy will join counterparts from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand in a national customs show, a workshop on ASEAN and its relations with Mexico, and a photo exhibition on the land and people of ASEAN.-VNA
Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Tuan Anh met several Mexican senior officials to boost culture and tourism cooperation during his visit to the Central American country.
A seminar on the Vietnam-Mexico bilateral relationship was recently held in Mexico’s capital, Mexico City, drawing the participation of a number of international officials, experts and students.
The ASEAN cultural week kicked off in Mexico on October 27 to promote friendship and multi-faceted cooperation between the bloc and the Latin American country.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The event served as a vibrant display of solidarity, promoting peace, cooperation, and development through cultural dialogue, and reaffirmed HCM City's role as a dynamic hub for cultural diplomacy and international friendship.
The Indian Film Festival not only honours the artistic value of cinema but also contributes to strengthening the friendship and enhancing cultural exchange between the people of Son La in particular and Vietnam in general and India.
An art exchange programme between Vietnam and Cambodia was held on the evening of June 13 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long as part of the 2025 Cambodia Culture Week in Vietnam.
Digitalisation does not mean commercialisation or oversimplification of culture. It is a way of selecting, adapting, and spreading traditional values through a modern language.
