As part of a series of foreign affairs activities to implement the Cultural Diplomacy Strategy until 2030, the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and the Faculty of International Relations of the University of Santa María (USM) of Venezuela jointly organized the introduction of the Space "Vietnam - Country, People".
The event attracted thousands of students from Venezuelan universities.
Speaking at the opening of the event, Professor, Dr. Antonina D'Amico, Vice Rector in charge of training at Santa María University, expressed her gratitude to the Vietnamese Embassy for coordinating the organization of this meaningful program.
Professor, Dr. Antonina D'Amico affirmed that, with the diverse and unique cultural colors of Vietnam, the "Vietnam-Country, People" space not only contributes to enriching the festival, but also opens the door for Venezuelan students to feel a resilient Vietnam in the past and is rising strongly, moving towards a powerful future.
Professor, Dr. Antonina D'Amico expressed her hope that the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela will continue to pay attention and coordinate in organizing specialized talks about Vietnam to help the young generation of Venezuela gain more knowledge and information about Vietnam, especially about the achievements in the construction and development of the country today; to act as a bridge to promote cooperation between the University of Santa María and Venezuelan universities in particular as well as in the field of education between Venezuela and Vietnam.
At the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Venezuela Vu Trung My gave an overview of the heroic history of building and defending the country of the Vietnamese people, the rich and unique culture and the patriotic, indomitable, kind and creative Vietnamese people.
According to the Ambassador, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam , the country is entering an era of comprehensive and sustainable development, aiming towards the goal of a prosperous and happy socialism.
Thanking the Venezuelan students for contributing to creating the "Vietnam - Country, People" space imbued with Vietnamese identity - where images of bamboo trees, ao dai, conical hats, water puppetry or the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam are vividly recreated through the lens of young people who have never set foot in Vietnam, Ambassador Vu Trung My affirmed that these are cultural stories told with the heart, with a thread connecting memories and aspirations, thereby inspiring visitors about a country that is close but contains many things to discover.
Ambassador Vu Trung My hopes that the young generations of the two countries, especially students, will increase exchange activities and promote the culture and history of the two peoples of Vietnam and Venezuela.
Expressing her honor to contribute to the construction of the “Vietnam-Country, People” Space, student Valentina Gonzáles shared that for the Venezuelan people in general and the young generation of Venezuela in particular, Vietnam-Ho Chi Minh is a symbol of freedom and peace, of bravery and resilience, and of flexibility but full of identity.
The female student of the International Relations Department at Santa María University also expressed her wish to one day set foot in faraway Vietnam to better feel the spirit and cultural depth of a nation that has risen strongly from hardships.
On the sidelines of the event, many exchange activities and information sharing about Vietnam’s history, foreign policy, and development achievements also attracted special attention from Caracas students. Many young people were excited to wear traditional ao dai, pose with conical hats, enjoy Vietnamese dishes, and admire exquisite handicrafts - cultural pieces that create a close and vibrant Vietnam.
