HCM City People’s Committee has asked the Prime Minister for a permit to co-host the World Cultural Expo 2017 together with the Republic of Korea’s Gyeongsangbuk province.
The 22-day event is expected to take place in November 2017 before or after the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC 2017).
The Committee said this will help promote Vietnamese culture and its land to international friends and attract more tourists from the RoK and other nations to HCM City.
The world culture expo with diverse activities will help strengthen the exchange of culture, culinary arts, fashion, movies, and literature and accelerate trade and investment activities among participating nations.
