Opening the concert, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam-Finland Friendship Association Doan Minh Tuan said the time-honoured and multi-faceted cooperation between the two countries have been growing. Economic, trade and investment partnerships are a priority of the European nation in its connections with Vietnam.
The Vietnamese people always keep in mind Finland’s valuable assistance in many practical projects such as clean water supply projects in Hanoi and Hai Phong city, along with poverty reduction and hospital building projects. These supports have helped foster bilateral relations, he noted.
He added that the musical exchange would help the two peoples further understand each other and convey the message of peace, solidarity and friendship.
Jarmo Anttila, Executive Director of the Seinajoki City Orchestra, said it was their honour to join musicians from the Hanoi College of Art in the performances.
