Phu Yen (VNA) – An art exchange exhibition between Vietnam and the Republic of Ko🎉rean is being held in the south central province of Phu Yen.
Jointly organised by Phu Yen Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the RoK's Chungbuk Arts Federation, RoK, the event, which runs from March 31 to April 4, aims to mark the 50th anniversary of Phu Yen’s Liberation Day (April 1, 1975 – 2025).
Featuring over 60 artworks and traditional calligraphy pieces by artists from Phu Yen and Chungbuk, the exhibition highlights the landscapes and people of both provinces. This cultural exchange also aims to strengthen the friendship and mutual understanding between the two regions. Live art and calligraphy demonstrations were also held for visitors.
Kim Ok Hee, head of the Cheongju branch of the Chungbuk Arts Federation, emphasised the dedication of Korean artists in sharing their artistic spirit. She views the exhibition as a vital bridge introducing Korean artistic values to Vietnamese audiences and hopes for expanded cultural exchanges in the future.
Nguyen Le Vu, Deputy Director of Phu Yen’s Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, highlighted the growing cultural ties between Phu Yen and Chungbuk, which have fostered lasting goodwill and deeper understanding between the two localities.
Running from March 31 to April 4, the exhibition will provide visitors with a unique opportunity to experience diverse artistic expressions while laying the foundation for future cultural cooperation.
During their visit, the Chungbuk Arts Federation also participated in various activities across Phu Yen, including performances at the province’s 50th Liberation Day celebration, public art performances in Tuy An District, and cultural exchanges with students at Phu Thu Town Primary School in Tay Hoa District./.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son affirmed that Vietnam attaches importance to its cooperation with the RoK and wishes to work with the East Asian country to further deepen their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the coming time.
Thang, who is also Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, highlighted Joo’s expertise in economic development, artificial intelligence (AI), and semiconductors, noting their relevance to Vietnam’s current tech-focused transformation.
Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court Le Minh Tri has called on the Republic of Korea (RoK) to enhance support, exchanges, and training in electronic investigation and evidence, and in the fight against high-tech and transnational crimes.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
