Now, nearly 750,000 Americans travel to Vietnam each year, and 119 U.S. non-governmental organizations are operating in the 63 provinces and cities across Vietnam. Young Vietnamese people are interested in U.S. culture and education, Son said, adding he believes that people-to-people exchanges between the two countries will continue to make great contributions to their relations.

Visitors to the festival can also find information about traveling to the U.S., learning English and register for exchange programs, scholarships, and jobs at the U.S. diplomatic mission.

The festival also featured musical performances, an “Ao dai” show, and special performances by U.S. hip-hop Arts Envoy Adrienne Mack-Davis and the Bamboo Orchestra.
