Vietnamese performing arts will take centre stage in Paris as the country prepares a cultural presentation in France's capital city. The choice of Paris reflects the city's standing as one of the world's premier centres for culture and the arts, as well as its role as home to UNESCO's headquarters.
The cultural showcase carries particular significance this year, as 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Vietnam's membership in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. This milestone provides an opportunity to highlight Vietnam's contributions to global cultural preservation and exchange over the past five decades.
Vietnamese Ambassador to France Trinh Duc Hai has emphasized Paris's importance as a venue for presenting Vietnamese cultural traditions to an international audience. The presentation is expected to introduce French and international visitors to Vietnam's rich theatrical heritage and contemporary performing arts scene.
The initiative underscores Vietnam's commitment to cultural diplomacy and strengthening ties with France through artistic exchange. By showcasing its performing arts in a major international cultural centre, Vietnam aims to deepen appreciation for its cultural contributions among global audiences.
