Vietnamese culture introduced in Paris
VOV.VN - Vietnamese culture, cuisine, and heritage have been highlighted at an event held in Paris on May 3, drawing the participation of more than 120 representatives from UNESCO and diplomatic missions to UNESCO.
Addressing the event, Ambassador Le Thi Hong Van, head of the Vietnamese delegation to UNESCO, emphasised that traditional Vietnamese cultural heritages have been strongly preserved over the years and have been increasingly known to the world through a number of tangible and intangible cultural heritage certificates granted by UNESCO.
Claudine de Kerdaniel, a member of the permanent delegation of the Saint Vincent & the Grenadines to UNESCO, said she was extremely impressed by the unique performances put on by Vietnamese artists, especially the water puppetry shows.
She highly commended the talent of the local artists, the range of traditional beautiful costumes, the stage setting, as well as their thorough preparations for the shows.
At the event, the participating delegates enjoyed some of Vietnam’s unique and diverse food dishes.
