According to Ambassador Thanh, Vietnam offers a diversity of landscapes, including pristine lakes and rivers, 3,000 kilometres of coastline, and unique cultural and historical sites for Bollywood films. The US film Kong: Skull Island is currently shooting in Vietnam, he said.
The country’s filmmakers have proved themselves in recent years with a number of international movie awards and are ready to cooperate with India and other countries, he added.
The diplomat said the Vietnam Cinema Department and the Vietnamese Embassy in India will help film projects from India seek partners and establish procedures.
