The event is a place where culture connects hearts and compassion has no borders. Where culture joins in responding to global challenges, including climate change, in the spirit of "Connecting - Sharing - Spreading love".

Specifically, it gathered 48 participating countries with 45 national cultural spaces, 34 international culinary booths, 23 domestic and foreign art troupes, 12 units introducing books and publications, 22 countries participating in the international film screening program. The event was not only a friendly meeting of cultures around the world, but also a humanitarian journey towards communities that are heavily affected by natural disasters, demonstrating the spirit of international solidarity in solving common global challenges, including the issue of climate change, which no country can stand outside.

At the Festival, colorful cultural spaces were vividly recreated: From traditional Asian - European dances, international costumes and cuisine displays, to unique Vietnamese art performances with the message "The world beats together with love".
