World Cultural Festival in Hanoi: Diverse activities imbued with identity

With the theme "Culture as the foundation - Art as the means," the First World Cultural Festival in Hanoi is "positioned" as a colorful festival where cultures meet and shine together.

The first World Cultural Festival in Hanoi is not only an opportunity to introduce the quintessence of international culture to the Vietnamese public, but also an opportunity to promote the image of the country and people of Vietnam to friends around the world, promote people-to-people exchanges, enhance mutual understanding and trust between countries, and affirm Hanoi as a center of global cultural convergence in the new era.
