The two ladies toured the exhibition rooms and learned about documents and artifacts on display which honoured the beauty of Vietnamese women and reflected on the development and changes in the role, status and life of women in society over time.
They later held an exchange with role models in education and young girls.
Peng Liyuan, who is also World Health Organisation’s Goodwill Ambassador for Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS and UNESCO Special Envoy for the Advancement of Girls' and Women's Education, showed her admiration to the examples of Vietnamese women and spoke highly of the role of education in changing the fate of many disadvantaged women and girls.
The two ladies also took the occasion to enjoy tea, a show of traditional Vietnamese long dresses and performances of Vietnamese musical instruments.
