The Vietnam-Japan Cultural Exchange Programme 2018 was attended by
Jun-ichi Kawaue, Japanese Consul General to Ho Chi Minh City, and a crowd of
Japanese businesses based in the city and Tra Vinh province.
In his opening remark, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dong Van
Lam said the programme is held to celebrate the 45th anniversary of
Vietnam-Japan diplomatic ties (September 21, 1973-2018).
Through the exchange, Tra Vinh wishes to introduce the Japanese people to the
cultural beauties and traditional customs of Vietnam in general and the
province in particular, he said.
The local leader took the occasion to thank the Japanese Government for funding
many programmes and projects in Tra Vinh over the past time. Among them are a
specialised credit programme, a project to improve agricultural promotion
system and another on medical equipment supply, which contribute to giving a
facelift to the province’s extremely difficult rural areas.
For his part, the Japanese Consul General lauded the fine friendship between
the two countries and expressed his wish that Vietnam-Japan exchange will be
expanded to many other fields so that Japanese businesses have more conditions
to explore investment opportunities in the locality.
The Vietnam-Japan Cultural Exchange Programme 2018 featured a wide range of
activities, including performances of traditional instruments, folk games,
re-enactment of a countryside market day, kimono and ao dai (long dress) shows,
and Japanese dance performances.
Japanese and Vietnamese handicrafts and cuisine were also introduced at the
event.
