Speaking at the program, Chairman of the Hanoi Union of Friendship Organizations Nguyen Ngoc Ky, on behalf of the Organizing Committee and the people of the capital, sent warm and affectionate feelings and best wishes to the people of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ky, every April, a number of Asian countries are bustling with the atmosphere of welcoming the traditional New Year according to the Buddhist calendar - a sacred occasion imbued with cultural identity and community solidarity. These Tet holidays are not only a sacred time, but also an opportunity for people to turn to their roots, praying for peace and happiness.
In Vietnam, April also recalls an important historical milestone - the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day on April 30. Organizing cultural events during this sacred time not only contributes to strengthening cooperation, but also honors the values of peace , solidarity and friendship.
