Attending the event were People’s Artist Trong Trinh, President of the Viet Nam Lion and Dragon Dance Federation; Venerable Thich Minh Quang, Abbot of Phat Tich Pagoda in Laos; representatives of the General Association of Vietnamese in Laos and the Vietnamese Association in Vientiane; and a large number of Vietnamese expatriates who are living and working in Laos.
At the event, audiences enjoyed a range of performances including traditional drum ensembles, martial arts displays, and lion dances and dragon dances — hallmarks of Vietnamese culture. The meticulously choreographed performances, rich in national cultural identity, were met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience.
People’s Artist Trong Trinh noted that this event marked the first time the Viet Nam Lion and Dragon Dance Federation had performed in Laos. The activity aimed to help preserve, promote, and spread the traditional cultural values of Viet Nam to overseas Vietnamese communities in general and in Laos in particular.
The programme not only catered to the cultural and artistic needs of the Vietnamese community in Laos but also contributed to introducing the image of Viet Nam and its people to international friends.
The event was a meaningful activity, highlighting the role of traditional arts in connecting communities, strengthening national solidarity, and affirming the enduring vitality and lasting value of Vietnamese culture in the context of global integration.
