At the seminar, the Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan, Nguyen Phu Binh introduced them to Vietnam’s land and people, its cultural traditions and customs and a number of famous tourist sites.

The seminar is of great importance for 52 ALFS members who are scheduled to make a trip to Vietnam from October 25-31 under the initiative of Le Hieu Ngan, wife of the Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan.

The trip will be similar to the tour of Vietnam last February taken by Japan’s Crown Prince, Naruhito. Apart from visiting places of interest, the delegation will donate US$10,000 in aid to the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang.
