Traditional Vietnamese Áo dài (long dress) and Áo ngũ thân (five-flap long dress) costumes, together with songs celebrating the Vietnamese Fatherland, brought vibrant Vietnamese cultural colours to the second cultural exchange festival of associations in Paris on October 31.

The ao dai and other forms of traditional Vietnamese dress are enjoying a strong revival in contemporary life, gradually becoming a new cultural asset for the tourism sector.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Canada recently hosted a ceremony marking the 80th National Day of Vietnam (September 2) and showcasing the country as a resilient and culturally rich nation through a special cultural performance.
