A Vietnam-Argentina centre was opened in the South American capital of Buenos Aires earlier this week to promote Vietnamese culture and bolster ties between the countries, reports VietnamPlus.
A Vietnamese delegation led by the Head of Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibitions Vi Kien Thanh attended the official ceremony along with leaders from the Argentina-Vietnam Cultural Institute (ICAV).
Chairman of the center Pham Lien said its purpose is to bring the nations together through various events such as Vietnamese talk shows, film screenings, seminars, art exhibitions, fashion shows, tourism fairs, traditional dance, theatre and music performances, as well as culinary art and Vietnamese language lessons.
Ambassador to Argentina Nguyen Van Dao applauded the activities held by the Argentina-Vietnam Cultural Institute over the past 15 years that promoted friendship and solidarity.
The ceremony was wrapped up with a fashion show featuring a collection of traditional Vietnamese clothes modeled by Argentine beauties.
The centre was designed to implement the cultural cooperation program in the 2010-2012 period as signed by both nations’ leaders during Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s official visit to Argentina two years ago.
