The event celebrated the 20th anniversary of Hanoi’s recognition as “City for Peace” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
This cultural and art exchange activity attracted the participation of members of friendship organizations, HAUFO’s affiliated agencies, embassies, international schools, and bilingual schools in Hanoi.
During the event, participants performed songs and dances praising the beauty of the landscapes, people, and friendships between the Vietnamese people and international friends. Songs and dances about Hanoi and its people were also performed on stage.
Through performances, participants helped popularize the land of Vietnam, its culture, people, and the image of Hanoi - the city for peace, to other countries’ people as well as foreign cultures to the Hanoians, thus strengthening mutual understanding and promoting solidarity and friendship between the Vietnamese people, Hanoians, and people around the world.
