Within the framework of this event, the Vietnam National Academy of Music and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism solemnly organized a special art program to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam-Russia diplomatic relations and welcome the official visit to Vietnam of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The program brought many special performances: a drum performance imbued with Vietnamese national identity, welcoming guests to the house; the instrumental music Liu Thuy - Kim Tien - a piece of music used in official ceremonies in the national tradition of Hue Royal Court Music; a monochord piece by Meritorious Artist Huong Giang; a vocal piece Canh Dong Nga performed by People's Artist Do Quoc Hung and the Hanoi Symphony Orchestra; People's Artist Bui Cong Duy performing a Russian piece written for the violin and symphony orchestra...
Dr. People's Artist Do Quoc Hung - Deputy Director in charge of the Vietnam National Academy of Music, said: "For the first time in history since 1956, the Academy has the honor of being one of the locations chosen by the Prime Minister to receive guests. This further motivates the teachers and students of the Academy to continue to make constant efforts."
Following State-level diplomatic activities, from January 15-23, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh led a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation to attend the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos 55, pay an official visit to the Czech Republic, Poland and hold bilateral meetings in Switzerland.

Bohemia Prague was founded in 2000 and is now one of the leading Czech symphony orchestras and regularly performs in many cities in Europe and the world.
The cooperation plan between the Vietnam National Academy of Music and the Bohemian Orchestra Prague focuses on Western musical instruments, exchanging experts, performing artists, symphonic conductors, choral conductors, creating a bridge of cultural exchange between the two countries, and training and developing young talents.
This will be the basis for the Academy and Orchestra to carry out effective and practical activities in the field of training and performing arts in the coming time.
On the same day, Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong and a delegation from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism visited and worked with the Prague Academy of Performing Arts - the largest art school in the Czech Republic with more than 350 teachers and researchers and 1,500 students.
At the meeting, the two sides discussed and explored the possibilities of cooperation in training and exchanging lecturers and students in the field of performing arts, especially the school's strengths in music, dance, drama, cinema and television.
Previously, on January 17, also within the framework of a high-level visit to Warsaw, Poland, Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong had a working session with Professor Tomasz Strahl, Rector and Professor Joanna Lawrynowiccz-Just, Vice Rector in charge of external affairs of the Frédéric Chopin University of Music - one of the leading music universities in Poland, and also one of the oldest and most prestigious music training institutions in Europe.

2025 marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Poland and Vietnam and the Czech Republic. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism plans to organize the Vietnam Cultural Week in Poland and the Czech Republic to enhance cultural cooperation between the countries, especially when the two countries have just upgraded their relations to a Strategic Partnership during the official visit of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh from January 15-23.
