"Vietnamese Cultural Days in Egypt" opened in Cairo last Saturday, Vietnam's largest cultural activity in the northern African country since they established their diplomatic ties.
The cultural exchange activities started with a solemn ceremony where Vietnamese artists performed a number of traditional dances and introduced costumes and musical instruments of Vietnamese ethnic groups.
At the opening ceremony, Egyptian Deputy Minister of Culture Anwar Ibrahim spoke highly of Vietnam's culture.
Ibrahim said the performances featured a combination of Vietnamese identities and the tradition of driving away foreign aggressors and reconstruction, especially its current renewal achievements.
In addition, photo exhibitions of the land and people, along with talks on Vietnam are to be held during the six-day event which will last until Oct. 5.
Tran Chien Thang, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Culture and Information, expressed his hope that this cultural activity would help the Egyptian people better understand Vietnam,
