The Arvo Pärt Center, named after the world- famous Estonian composer, was founded in 2010 to preserve, research and present the creative legacy of Arvo Pärt, one of the world's most influential contemporary composers.

The Center regularly hosts concerts, seminars,educational programs and other cultural events and is also where the Estonian Government often organizes cultural exchange and promotion activities.

Spending time visiting the unique architectural space of the central building, which houses the works, musical documents and creative heritage of composer Arvo Pärt, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh expressed his strong impression of the harmonious design between nature and humans, a subtle combination of modern architecture and minimalist style imbued with meditation, true to the musical spirit of Arvo Pärt.

Writing in the guest book, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh expressed his emotion, respect and admiration for the talented and dedicated composer Arvo Pärt - who devoted his whole life to his love of music and the beautiful country of Estonia.

Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna highly appreciated the first official visit of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, considering it an important milestone opening a new chapter in the cooperative relationship between the two countries.

The Minister affirmed that Estonia always attaches importance to developing relations with Vietnam - a potential partner with an increasingly important position in the Asia-Pacific region and is ready to accompany Vietnam in the green and digital transformation, strategic orientations that the Vietnamese Government is determined to actively implement.

Appreciating Estonia's public-private partnership (PPP) model as extremely effective, especially in the fields of education, cultural creativity, and digital transformation, of which the Arvo Pärt Center is a typical example, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that this is a model that can be learned and developed in Vietnam.
