In her opening speech, Professor Dr. Yvonne Lim Ai Lian, Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International) at the UM, emphasised the power of cultural exchange in promoting understanding and solidarity between the two countries.
She noted that the event introduced traditional dishes, art performances from both Vietnam and Malaysia, and featured interactions with cultural experts, thus helping participants share similarities and explore the unique aspects of each other's culture.
Deputy Ambassador of Vietnam to Malaysia Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh said that after more than half a century of diplomatic relations, the two countries have been building a special and close friendship based on mutual trust and understanding. Cooperation has been developed across various fields, including cultural and people-to-people exchanges.
She expressed her hope that in the coming time, the Faculty of Language and Linguistics (FLL) in particular and the UM in general will maintain traditional cultural exchange activities to promote and preserve the image, culture, and people of each country, and create opportunities for further collaboration.
