Entitled “A love letter to...”, the event was organized by the Vietnamese Students Association in the U.K. (SVUK) and the Vietnamese professionals community in the U.K. (VietPro) in an attempt to introduce Vietnamese artistic talents, develop a Vietnamese art-loving community in the host country while promoting the S-shaped country's culture and arts to British and international friends.
The program comprised six themes, including love, gratitude, togetherness, home, forgiveness and family with 20 rich and unique art works performed by Vietnamese students and expats living and working in the U.K.
The event was expected to strengthen solidarity in the Vietnamese community, while spreading the values and beauty of Vietnamese culture to international friends.
Dao Thi Hong, First Secretary in charge of education at the Embassy of Vietnam in the U.K., highly appreciated the efforts of SVUK and VietPro in organizing a meaningful event, helping to connect the Vietnamese community in the U.K. while promoting Vietnamese artistic talents to international friends.
She also expressed her delight at the development of the Vietnamese community in the U.K., including SVUK, affirming that the Vietnamese Embassy always accompanies and supports Vietnamese associations in the U.K. to build a stronger Vietnamese community.
