According to Deputy Minister Ho An Phong, the Vietnamese people will never forget Poland’s valuable assistance during the years of fighting for independence and in the process of national construction. Over the past 75 years, the relationship between Vietnam and Poland has always developed steadily on the basis of trust and sharing.

In the field of culture and art, Poland has provided much practical support to Vietnam, especially in training. Many generations of Vietnamese artists, musicians, painters and architects have studied at prestigious art training institutions in Poland. The professional values ​​and artistic spirit that they absorbed from Poland's scholarly, disciplined and creative culture have contributed significantly to the formation and development of modern art in Vietnam today.

The art program “Quintessence of Vietnamese culture” was elaborately staged by artists from the Vietnam Music, Dance and Singing Theater. Each performance in the program is a slice of Vietnamese culture. From the gentle dance “Colors of the ancient capital”, the soulful solo performance of the monochord “Homeland of three regions”, to the modern combination of Xam singing art in “Four seasons of flowers”… it brought to the audience in Poland a Vietnam that is both traditional and innovative, vivid and attractive.

The cultural exchange between Vietnam and Poland was subtly demonstrated through bilingual musical performances. The concert “Niech żyje bal” resounded through traditional Vietnamese instruments. The folk songs “Szła dzieweczka” and “Czerwone Jagody” were performed by Vietnamese artists with sincere emotions, bringing the rustic charm of Polish melodies in the breath of Vietnamese art. The program ended with the combination “Mot vong Viet Nam - Niech żyje bal” convincingly demonstrating the borderless language of music and music, in its own way, awakening the deepest values ​​of the human connection between the people of the two countries.

Vietnamese traditional culture and art are introduced to international friends.

Also within the framework of the Vietnam Culture - Tourism Week in Poland in 2025, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam organized the exhibition "Colors of Vietnamese Culture". This activity was carried out by the Vietnam Exhibition Center for Culture and Arts. The exhibition introduced unique traditional handicraft products from famous craft villages such as Bat Trang pottery, Van Phuc silk, Phu Vinh rattan and bamboo, Hanoi lacquerware...

Each work is the crystallization of meticulousness, creativity and artistic spirit of Vietnamese craftsmen. Many products are made from recycled materials, demonstrating environmental awareness and social responsibility. The exhibition has attracted special attention from Polish and international audiences, leaving many deep impressions, contributing to spreading the beauty of Vietnamese culture to international friends.
