“Spring in all Regions Nationwide” Festival 2017 kicks off in Hanoi
President Tran Dai Quang attended an opening ceremony of the “Spring in all Regions Nationwide” Festival 2017 at the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism in Hanoi on February 4.
The festival also attracted the participation of 200 ethnic minority people from 16 groups in 13 cities and provinces across the country as well as representatives of Overseas Vietnamese from 20 countries and territories worldwide.
In his remarks, the President extended the New Year best wishes to all ethnic groups across Vietnam.
Speaking at the event, President Quang stated that since its foundation and during its leadership, the Party has always identified the ethnic affairs as well as the solidarity of ethnic groups a work of strategic importance.
After 30 years of renewal, especially since the 9th Party Central Committee issued a resolution on ethnic affairs in 2003, important progress has been made in mountainous areas, and the living conditions of ethnic minority people, while the solidarity among the groups has been reinforced, he noted.
The State leader stressed that socio-economic infrastructure systems as well as living standards of locals in ethnic minority-inhabited areas have been significantly improved, and their traditional cultures have been respected, preserved and promoted.
President Quang highlighted that the festival is a good opportunity for all ethnic groups to meet, exchange, and introduce their cultures, traditional festivals and customs as well as achievements in protecting and developing their cultural values.
He also praised the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for its efforts in effectively managing the Vietnam National Village for Ethnic Culture and Tourism, making it a common home of the 54 ethnic groups.
In 2016, the village received thousands of ethnic minority representatives and more than 500,000 visitors, along with organising dozens of festivals and events, contributing to preserving and promoting national traditional values, he said.
The President also expressed his hope that ethnic groups will focus more on helping younger generations to understand more about their traditional culture.
He asked ministries, sectors and localities to continue assisting ethnic minority groups in socio-economic development and encourage the public to effectively carry out ethnic policies.
The festival features the unique cultures and traditional customs of the 54 ethnic groups nationwide.
At the opening ceremony, President Quang participated in “nem con” - a traditional game of the Thai people from Dien Bien, and a ritual of the Thai people to pray for bumper crops, peace and health.
