Hanoi (VNA) – Denmark’s Embassy in Vietnam said that it and the Kim Dong Publishing House would take active involvement in the two activities of the 6th European Literacy Days in Hanoi.
The first activity is an exhibition, showcasing the cooperation between Vietnamese and Danish artists, which will open at 5pm on May 4, and end on May 7, at the French Cultural Centre on Trang Tien Street.
Vietnamese audiences, especially children, will have a chance to enjoy colourful books lit from the inside. The books are the product of 20 Danish illustrators and painters, including big names like Arne Ungermann and Ib Spang Olsen and the rising star Jacob Martin Striid.
The exhibition also features products that are the result of cooperation between artists from the two countries, illustrating Vietnamese and Dannish proverbs.
The second activity will take place from 3:30pm to 5pm on May 6 in the Goethe Institute on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street where Dannish writers and artists will share their experience on writing an historic novel.
Writers Nanna Gyldenkaerne and Sally Altschuler and illustrator Tove Krebs Lange will talk about the correlation between non-fiction and fiction as well as freedom of artistic expression in writing.
Charlotte Laursen, Denmark’s Ambassador to Vietnam, spoke of the cooperation between Vieꦑtnamese and Danish artists. Since 2006, Vietnam and Denmark have worked together on a number of cultural cooperation programmes, focusing on the creativity, accessibility and participation of people in art, as well as cultural diversity.-VNA
Vietnam and Denmark have reached a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on energy conservation and renewable energy industries, spanning five priority fields across 10 cooperative forms.
Denmark will send experts in food and environment to work in its embassy in Vietnam, Danish Minister of Environment and Food Eva Kjet Hansen told reporters in Hanoi on November 9.
Important achievements in cooperation between Vietnam and Denmark were highlighted at a celebration to mark the 43rd anniversary of Vietnam-Denmark diplomatic relations held in Hanoi on Nov. 25.
Quang Duc pottery is known for its wide range of forms, including wine bottles, jars, lime pots, vases, plant pots, incense burners and candle stands. Decorative motifs are equally rich, featuring mythical creatures, pastoral scenes, floral patterns, deer, peacocks, bats and more.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
