Vietnam Festival 2024 opens in Japan

Upon addressing the event, representatives of both nations emphasised that the annual function, the 16th of its kind to be held in Japan, has contributed to introducing unique Vietnamese culture and developing bilateral relations in multiple fields such as economics, politics, and people-to-people exchanges over the past five decades.

At the festival, aside from cultural activities and music performances put on by popular Vietnamese singers, Vietnamese water puppetry shows have been introduced to help Japanese audiences and the Vietnamese community gain greater insights into the unique art in the world.

Notably, a number of stalls introducing Vietnamese cuisine were packed with Japanese people who have been keen on tasting local delicacies such as Pho, bread, and spring rolls.

Moreover, there were a number of pavilions set up to introduce jobs, tours, and aviation services, as well as import-export activities among companies of the two countries.

According to details given by the organisers, this year’s event attracted the participation of about 180,000 visitors.
