Spring is a symbol of peace and happiness, while sunshine symbolizes hope for a bright future of peace, said Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Music and Dance Theatre Meritorious Artist Hoang Xuan Binh. 

Binh showed the honor to organize artistic programs to mark important diplomatic events of the country, including the Vietnam visit of DPRK Chairman Kim Jong Un and the DPRK-USA Summit in Vietnam.

He said that this is an international-level event and serves as an opportunity for Vietnam to popularize the images of a beautiful and hospitable country to international friends.

At present, artists of the Vietnam National Music and Dance Theatre are urgently practicing to ensure the event a success.
