Hanoi to host Persian carpet exhibition
(VOV) - More than 200 high-quality Persian carpets hand-woven in the traditional way by Iranian artisans will be exhibited at Melia Hotel in Hanoi from November 21-23, announced by the Iran Embassy in Hanoi on November 14.
The second-of-its-kind exhibition will offer an insight into the 2,500-year-old handicraft of the people of Iran, through the introduction of two noted Iranian artisans, Bagher Seirafian and Amir Erami. They were named as the two best carpet weavers at the National Carpet Festival held in Tehran in August this year.

Ambassador to Vietnam Hossein Alvandi Behineh hoped the second carpet exhibition, following the successful one held here in 2009, will be an effective cultural event in the process.

He revealed that the Iranian Embassy will host more cultural events in the coming time to boost bilateral friendship and cooperative relations.
