In her opening speech, Vice Director of the provincial Department of Culture and Sports Sung Hong Mai stressed that the event is part of activities to celebrate the 76th anniversary of India's Independence Day, thus enhancing the friendship between the two countries. 

The program offers a chance for local residents and visitors to experience and immerse themselves in the unique folklore space of India through folk music works with a contemporary touch performed by the Tetseo Sisters band; and works imbued with cultural identities of ethnic groups in Lao Cai by artists from the provincial Ethnic Art Troupe, Mai said.

Nearly 20 performances of traditional singing and dancing were meticulously choreographed, attracting thousands of spectators.

Recently, Lao Cai authorities have coordinated with the Indian Embassy to organize cultural exchange activities such as International Yoga Day, and welcomed many Indian art troupes to perform, in order to introduce India’s incredible culture to local residents.
