Vietnamese ethnic minority groups’ culture introduced in France

The exhibits were collected by Alain Dussarps, Vice President of the French-Vietnam Friendship Association (AAFV), in his visits to Vietnam. This is the first time these unique items have been introduced in Saintes, leaving a good impression on visitors.

The exhibition is one of the activities of the programme “Le Vietnam s’invite à Saintes” (Vietnam comes to Saintes) to introduce Vietnamese culture to local people within the framework of a programme organised by Association Vietnam 17 to celebrate the 50th founding anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Nhung Lehoux, President of Association Vietnam 17, underlined the importance of preserving and promoting traditional culture values of ethnic minority groups of Vietnam, hoping that more French visitors and overseas Vietnamese will visit Vietnam to  explore and experience the country’s culture.

As scheduled, a chain of cultural events will be held in the framework of “Le Vietnam s’invite à Saintes” programme with a wide range of activities, including film screenings, reading Vietnamese fairy tales for children, tourism seminars, economic talks, and performances of ethnic musical instruments, among others.

The programme will be organised by Association Vietnam 17 in collaboration with the authority of Saintes, and the Vietnamese Embassy in France.

Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang spoke highly of the association’s initiative to organise the event, saying that the activity will contribute to honouring Vietnam’s traditional culture and beauty, thus tightening the friendship and mutual understanding between the people of Saintes and French friends and Vietnamese people.

Hanoi sees light traffic congestion on the first working day after Tet

Vehicles can easily move on usually-busy two-way streets. Compared to normal days, the traffic moving towards the capital’s gateways is heavy, although there is no signs of severe congestion. A long line of vehicles waits at a green light on Nguyen Trai street. A traffic police officer arrives early on Trieu Khuc street in order to guide the flow of traffic. The Nguyen Xien-Nguyen Trai intersection is slightly crowded, with vehicles able to move at a slow pace. Vehicles only clog up the area as cars and motorbikes wait for the light to turn green. During rush hour this morning, the majority of vehicles move at a snail’s pace on Nguyen Trai street. The same situation can be seen on Truong Chinh street. There are no traffic jams reported on Kham Thien, Ton Duc Thang, and Chua Boc streets. On the first working day of the new year, clear streets means no stress and a less tiring envi...

A training course on solid waste management was held in Yokohama, Japan on September 4th. The course was attended by representatives from local units and authorities in Da Nang, who are implementing waste sorting and 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) programs. This initiative is part of a project sponsored by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and implemented in collaboration with the Japanese Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). The successful first stage of the project took place five years ago, with the support of these organizations, resulting in the implementation of waste sorting models in the community of Hai Chau and Thanh Khe districts. Building on this success, Da Nang plans to implement solid waste classification at source by 2025. Experts from Yokohama City and the Japanese Institute for Global Environmental Strategy (IGES), along with officials and residents of Nam Duong Ward, Hai Chau District, participated in the waste sorting model in...
