The two-day festival will entertain locals and expats with a wide
range of activities including Learning about Bundesliga, the Brothers Grimm
Beer Festival and a fashion show by the Van Laack Company.
A photo exhibition displaying ten photos on the theme of Buddy Bears (a symbol
of Berlin) by Leica and another exhibition featuring photos about the
diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Germany will be also held.
Festival goers can also enjoy jazz performances and movies about Germany’s
tourism and culture. A pop rock performance by the band Isolation Berlin will
be held on November 3 night.
Addressing the event, Ambassador Christian Berger said the festival aims to
give Vietnamese people gain in insight into diverse aspects of Vietnam-Germany
links.
He added that the event marked a decade of a joint programme on teaching German
in Vietnamese schools. Around 4,000 Vietnamese students are studying German at
school with the support of this programme, and one third of schools where
German is taught are in Hanoi.
Chairman Chung stressed that Germany is one of Hanoi’s most important partners
with nearly 70 investment projects in different fields. Two-way trade between
Hanoi and Germany reaches about 900 million USD a year.
