The Argentina-Vietnam Culture Institute (ICAV) recently marked its 25th anniversary (December 18, 1997-2022) at a ceremony in Buenos Aires.

Patricia Abarzua, President of the Chile-Vietnam Cultural Institute also attended and shared joy on this anniversary.

In her remarks, ICAV Chairwoman Poldi María Sosa reviewed operations of the institute over the past years, saying its diverse activities are intended to promote the history, culture and achievements of Vietnam, thereby contributing to the enhancement of understanding between the two countries.

Apart from photo and painting exhibitions, talks and film screening, the institute has organised trips to Vietnam for many delegations, including university lecturers, doctors, engineers and artists, among others.

Poldi Sosa also shared the deep feelings of many Argentines for Vietnam during the most difficult years of the previous struggle for national independence, as well as the process of nation building and economic development today.

ICAV has also organised many group tours, with the participation of university lecturers, doctors, engineers, artists and admirers of Vietnam, so that more people can understand and experience more about the renovation process, about the diverse traditional culture, as well as the hospitable Vietnam and its people.

The ICAV President affirmed that, through practical experiences in Vietnam, many Argentinians love the S-shaped strip of land more and more and gradually become active members of ICAV, participating in exchange activities. and promote, contribute to expand understanding and connection between the two peoples.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentina Duong Quoc Thanh lauded diverse activities organised by the ICAV even amid the Covid-19 pandemic, which, he said, have helped to deepen the traditional relationship between the two countries’ people.

He urged the institute to raise more practical initiatives to intensify exchanges between the two countries and promote the image of Vietnam in Argentina.

On this occasion, the diplomat presented a certificate of merit of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) to the ICAV in recognition of its contributions to Vietnam.

The ambassador emphasised that this is the clearest evidence of the contributions of ICAV and President Poldi Sosa personally in supporting activities of the Vietnamese Embassy in Argentina in cultural diplomacy in Argentina; strengthen and unite the two nations.

Argentina was one of the first countries in Latin America to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam and, over the almost five decades, the relations has been increasingly strengthened and developed, helping the two countries become important partners of each other in the current period.

Earlier, a high-ranking delegation of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) led by Politburo member and Chairman of the CPV Cental Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs Phan Dinh Trac paid a working visit to Argentina from October 22 to 26 as part of their tour of Latin America.

The two countries are about to mark the 50th founding anniversary of diplomatic ties in 2023.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang made the statement during his talks held in Beijing, China, on June 26 with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. Sharing Li Qiang’s delight at the development trend of the bilateral ties since the historic visit to China in late 2022 by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Nguyen Phu Trong, PM Chinh stressed that the Party, State, and people of Vietnam consistently place importance on boosting the sound relations with the fraternal Chinese Party, Government, and people. This is the unwavering policy, the strategic choice, and the top priority in Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification of external relations, he said.

Vietnam enjoys post-pandemic period with festive Christmas celebrations

Hình ảnh
The last fortnight has seen major cities across the country excitedly prepare to welcome Christmas, with festive elements found around almost every corner. Primary schools and nurseries can be heard blaring out traditional Christmas songs to welcome arriving students, shopping centres have launched a range of promotions to lure in customers looking to buy gifts, and many businesses and residential buildings have put up an array of festive decorations to mark the occasion. Whilst these aspects of the holiday season have become more prevalent during December in Vietnam over the last few years, many traditional aspects of the festivities have so far failed to emerge in the way Vietnamese people celebrate the holiday.

I recall one year seeing staff hurriedly removing festive decorations at Royal City ...

Lucky money giveaway – an exchange of best New Year wishes

Lucky money giveaway is a long-standing practice that represents “mung tuoi” or “li xi”, literally meaning “congratulation on a new age”. According to the book “Viet Nam phong tuc” (Vietnamese customs) by scholar Phan Ke Binh (1875 – 1921), after worshipping ancestors, descendants offer lucky money and bow twice to their grandparents and parents. In return, the seniors also give several coins as lucky money to their children. In the country, lucky money giveaway is a custom at the start of a lunar new year. People often put the money in a red envelope, which is meant to pray for good luck and drive away evil spirits. The practice is also intended to wish small children good growth and learning success and the elderly, longevity and good health. Given its meaning, lucky money giveaway has long been a cultural identity of Vietnamese people once Tet arrives.
