On the evening of September 19, the opening ceremony of the Northwest Quintessence Festival - Dien Bien 2025 took place at Dien Bien Provincial Stadium.
The event, chaired by the People's Committee of Dien Bien province and organized in coordination with the expanded Northwest provinces and Ho Chi Minh City, is a regional-scale event aimed at promoting and enhancing the effectiveness of tourism development cooperation, and maximizing the potential and advantages of tourism in the localities.
At the ceremony, Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan emphasized that this is a regional event with many exciting, rich, attractive and in-depth cultural and tourism activities, demonstrating the determination of the Party Committee, government and people of the extended Northwestern provinces and Ho Chi Minh City.
The festival serves as a highlight to further promote and enhance the effectiveness of collaborative tourism development, contributing to the effective exploitation of the tourism potential and advantages of the localities.
This is also an opportunity for tourists to have more experiences, explore the natural beauty and culture of various ethnic groups, and further cultivate their love for their homeland and national pride.
Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan suggested that the Party Committee, government, business community and ethnic people of the expanded Northwestern provinces and Ho Chi Minh City focus on developing tourism with the motto "Unique products - Professional services - Convenient and simple procedures - Competitive prices - Clean and beautiful environment - Safe, civilized and friendly destinations."
The parties agreed on the motto of cooperation and association in tourism development between localities; cherishing, respecting, promoting and effectively exploiting the unique traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities, considering this a priceless asset for tourism development.
The Vice President requested that central ministries, departments, and agencies pay attention to supporting and creating favorable conditions for the Northwest provinces and Ho Chi Minh City to promote rapid and sustainable tourism development.
Capable and experienced domestic and foreign businesses are encouraged to research, survey, propose, and implement reasonably sized investment projects, which will serve as a driving force for the development of tourism in Northwest Vietnam in the new phase.
The core objective of the Festival is to further promote and enhance the effectiveness of linkages and cooperation in tourism development between the expanded Northwest provinces and Ho Chi Minh City.
The program is expected to create a widespread inter-regional tourism space, contributing to improving the locality's competitiveness on the national and regional tourism map.
Dien Bien Provincial Party Secretary Tran Quoc Cuong affirmed that activities at the Festival will continue to promote and improve the effectiveness of tourism development cooperation between the extended Northwestern provinces and Ho Chi Minh City.
The Festival aims to create a system of economic-cultural-tourism products typical of the extended Northwest region. These products will be developed on the basis of a common brand, deeply indigenous but capable of reaching regional and international levels.
Through this, the Northwestern provinces can proactively participate in the broader tourism value chain, while simultaneously promoting the consumption of domestic products and boosting local economic growth.
After the opening ceremony is the art program "Connecting the clouds and sky - Reaching the Northwest." Throughout the art part is the journey of weaving a colorful brocade, where the cultural quintessence of the 6 extended Northwest provinces blends with the dynamic breath of Ho Chi Minh City.
The opening segment, themed "Weaving the Mountains - Echoes of Identity," takes the audience on a journey to explore the vibrant landscape – where the pristine sounds of the Northwest mountains blend with the rhythm of modern life. From the giant loom weaving ethnic colors, the stage opens with a lively festival atmosphere, recreating the gathering scene of the expanded Northwest provinces and Ho Chi Minh City.
Next is "Brilliant Northwest" - a symbol of progress in the new era, where traditional values blend with modern life, bridging the gap between different cultural regions.
The Northwest region preserves its roots but does not reject new winds, bravely stepping into the digital age with its own unique identity. Ho Chi Minh City – a land of creative waves and inner strength – continues the economic flow, divides the cultural rhythm, and blends the warmth of the coast with the cool breezes of the mountains.
The ending part “The Northwest is rising up - Taking off with the country” shows the aspiration to rise up, becoming a bright spot of integration - strong, confident and full of inner strength. Together with Ho Chi Minh City, the expanded Northwest provinces are keeping pace with the development speed…
The art program has the participation of famous singers and artists such as: Thu Minh, Ha Le, Tang Duy Tan, Da LAB, Quynh Nhu, Rapper RICA, TRE dance group.../.
