Themed “Itinerary on Vietnam”, the gala featuring special art performances imbued with the cultural identities of each region attracted hundreds of Vietnamese students and people who are living and working in Japan and international friends.

Speaking at the event, JVA Vice President Katsunari Suzuki praised Vietnamese students’ activities over the past years, helping boost the multi-faceted exchange between Vietnam and Japan.

Around JPY400,000 (over US$4,000) raised from the gala will be transferred to Vietnamese charity funds in support for the storm victims in central provinces.
