The event was organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Vietnamese Embassy in the UAE, within the framework of Vietnamese Cultural Days in UAE 2023.
The music programme gathered the participation of popular Vietnamese artists from the Vietnam National Academy of Music and the UAE National Band.
The artists brought to the stage beautiful melodies of Vietnamese and UAE music and traditional musical instruments of the two countries.
In his speech, Vietnamese Ambassador to the UAE Nguyen Manh Tuan emphasised that over the past three decades, the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and the UAE have developed positively in many fields from politics and diplomacy to transport, trade, investment, labour and tourism.
He noted with pleasure that the UAE is currently Vietnam's largest trading partner in the Middle East-North Africa region, while Vietnam is the UAE's largest partner in ASEAN. The volume of non-oil trade between the two sides reached 8 billion USD in 2022.
