ABO/NDO- A Vietnam-Malaysia arts and cultural exchange was held on June 11 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as part of activities to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the two countries' diplomatic ties.

The event drew the participation of more than 120 representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy, businesses and Vietnamese community in Malaysia.

In her remarks, Tran Thi Chang, president of the Malaysia-Malaysia Friendship Association, said that the event offers an opportunity for people of the two countries to learn about some traditional art forms of Vietnam which have been recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as intangible cultural heritages of humanity such as Chau Van (traditional folk art of northern Vietnam which combines singing and dancing), Quan Ho (duet love) singing and Cheo (Vietnamese traditional opera).

According to Chang, art and culture exchanges will contribute to spreading the love of traditional culture among the Vietnamese community in Malaysia, as well as help nurture Malaysian people's love of the traditional arts and culture of Vietnam.

Addressing the event, former Malaysian Ambassador to Vietnam Azmil Zabidi emphasised that the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam andMalaysia is a great chance for the two countries to organise cultural exchange activities.
