In addition, a program to promote the capital's agricultural products, traditional handicraft villages, and typical OCOP products will be held at the May 7 Square in Dien Bien Phu City.

An art show entitled "Melodies of Unity" will be held on August 10 at the square with the Hanoi Youth Union presenting gifts to the Dien Bien Provincial Youth Union and providing scholarships to students in need in Dien Bien Province.

The program is organized by the Government of Hanoi to further promote and showcase the typical and unique cultural features and heritage of Hanoi as a City for Peace and a Creative City.

This will also strengthen cooperation between Hanoi and Dien Bien in promoting and utilizing the potential and advantages of culture, tourism, and economy, attracting Hanoi tourists to Dien Bien and vice versa.

According to the Hanoi People's Committee, the program aims to give the Northwest and Dien Bien ethnic minority groups a good impression of the capital's unique beauty, culture, heritage, and especially its development achievements over the past 70 years.
