A programme highlighting Vietnam’s unique culture is taking place in Saudi Arabia from February 3 to 15.
Thousands of locals and international visitors have joined the event in Dhahran, about 400km from Riyadh capital.
Various activities were held such as exhibitions featuring Vietnam’s history, land, people and heritage, film screening, performance of traditional musical instruments, lion dances, and circus performances.
Visitors also have the chance to buy made-in-Vietnam handicraft products and taste Vietnamese traditional foods.
Special traditional costumes of Vietnamese ethnic groups were also introduced to visitors.
A representative from the Abdulaziz Centre for World Culture – the co-organiser together with the Vietnamese Embassy in Saudi Arabia - said they decided to choose Vietnam as the first country to promote culture because Vietnam is still able to preserve its rich and diverse culture despite historical ups and downs over the past centuries./.

Coming from a country that has experienced numerous defensive wars throughout its long history, the Vietnamese people naturally bear in mind their national pride and gratitude to those who did a service to their country.
In addition to safeguarding and fostering traditional values, Vietnam also embraces foreign cultures in a selective manner to influence its own unique culture.
In modern times, the Vietnamese people pay respect to President Ho Chi Minh, an exceptional leader and hero in the national struggle for independence, he is regarded somewhat as a saint and his thoughts and philosophy on leadership continue to be applied in Vietnam today.
although Vietnamese people warmly embrace foreign religions, the indigenous ancestor worship remains a central part in the spiritual life of Vietnamese people.
Vietnam has an age-old and special culture that is closely attached to the history of the formation and development of the nation.
Vietnam has a fairly large cultural community that was formed around the first half of the first millenium B.C. and flourished in the middle of this millenium
The most prominent feature of the Vietnamese culture is that it was not assimilated by foreign cultures thanks to the strong local cultural foundations. On the contrary, it was able to utilize and localize those from abroad to enrich the national culture.
The Vietnamese national culture emerged from a specific living environment: a tropical country with many rivers and the confluence of great cultures.
The Vietnamese nation was formed early in the history and often had to carry out wars of resistance against foreign invaders, which created a prominent cultural feature: a patriotism that infiltrated and encompassed every aspect of life
because of the destruction of wars, Vietnam has virtually no gigantic cultural and artistic construction, or if any, they could not have been preserved intact.
Vietnam has 54 ethnic groups living across the country. Each ethnic group has its own cultural identities, thus, the Vietnamese culture has both diversity and unity.
The agricultural society is characterized by the village community with many prolonged primitive vestiges that have formed the specific characteristics of the Vietnamese
Happiness was also among the top social values; people often make compliments on the happiness of a family rather than wealth and social position.
We all love Vietnam and its culture
