Danang gearing up for Int’l Theatre Congress
(VOV) - Chairman Huynh Duc Tho of the Danang Municipal People’s Committee on November 26 provided an update to the press on the city’s selection to host the 36th International Theatre Institute (ITI) World Congress in 2018.
Chairman Tho said it is an honour to have been chosen to represent the prestigious organization as it provides the city the opportunity to take centre stage and promote its image, tourism potential and culture.
“Everything is right on track,” said Chairman Tho and plans are being distributed to the appropriate agencies as they are approved.
He said currently there is a site selection process underway for the construction of a new theatre to house the event, which in turn will need the review and approval of the Municipal People’s Committee.
President Mohammed Al-Afkham of the ITI in turn said the biennial event promises to be the largest ever and potentially could attract 1,000 actors from as many as 100 countries around the globe.
