“Soul of Vietnam” makes good impression on int’l delegates
An art performance called “Soul of Vietnam” by artists from VOV Theatre was held at Melia Hotel, Hanoi on May 24, in the framework of the 8th Asia Media Summit (AMS8).
Speaking at the event, VOV General Director Vu Van Hien emphasised that through AMS8, VOV wants to introduce international friends to Vietnam’s traditional culture, its fast growth in all fields, particularly in new media and radio-broadcasting industry and its efforts to strengthen the mutual understanding, and friendship between the Vietnamese people and other peoples in the world.
Judging from the opening ceremony and following sessions of AMS8, Mr. Hien expressed his belief that the event being held in Hanoi for the first time will leave a deep impression on international friends.
The art performance consisted of two parts. The first was about Vietnam’s beautiful landscape illustrated by songs, dances and stories. The second focused on some unique styles of music, which have been recognised as the world’s cultural heritages, such as Quan ho (love duets of Bac Ninh), Nha Nhac (Hue Royal Court Music) and Cong Chieng Tay Nguyen (Central Highland Gongs).
Athira Ali, a delegate from Malaysia, said she felt very excited when seeing Vietnam’s traditional art performance for the first time. “Through the show, I find the country very beautiful and Vietnamese people very friendly, the atmosphere of AMS8 is very warm this evening,” she said.
