A performance by artists from the Vietnam Music, Dance and Song Theatre and the Vietnam Circus Federation on November 28, 2008 commenced a week-long festival on Vietnamese culture in Phnom Penh.
The opening ceremony of the Vietnamese Culture Festival 2008 was attended by Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Tran Chien Thang, Cambodian Minister of Culture and Art Him Chhem and other guests from both countries.
The festival, the second of its kind in Cambodia, shows the friendship and solidarity between the two countries and their people. The event is also an opportunity for Cambodian people to understand more about Vietnam’s renovation process and its economic achievements.
During the festival, the two sides will exchange experience in art and culture development in each country.
