Vietnamese art troupes will feature performances in praise of the Party, Uncle Ho and the beauty of the country and people, as well as the Vietnamese people’s aspiration for a prosperous nation, a strong country, an equitable, democratic and civilized society.
Participating countries will introduce their typical features of the people, national characteristics and achievements gained in the past and at present.
