Opening the event, Assistant Foreign Minister Pham Sao Mai said the programme was a chance for diplomats to gain an insight into Vietnam and seek partners to promote political, diplomatic, economic and cultural relations with the country. 

It was also an occasion for new ambassadors to connect with representatives of local ministries, sectors, organisations and enterprises, Mai said.

The official added this year’s “Learning about Vietnam” programme was organised near the Lunar New Year – the biggest traditional festival – with a view to introducing international friends the history, culture, land and people of Vietnam, its economy and the country’s investment, trade and tourism promotion priorities.
