The visit helped bolster Viet Nam’s image as the Expo is a grand event in Dubai and the UAE at large.
Al Maktoum spoke highly of Vietnamese music and expressed his hope to strengthen bilateral cooperation through cultural exchanges, with an aim to promote the countries’ image, landscapes, peoples and culture to each other and international friends.
The Vietnam Pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai, spanning an area of 850 sq.m, impresses visitors with 800 typical conical hats hanging at the front area, and miniatures of 18 artworks created by renowned Vietnamese contemporary artists.
Themed ‘Distilling the Past, Shaping the Future”, it comprises exhibition zones introducing different sides of Viet Nam to international friends.
With a history of 170 years, the World Expo is among the world’s oldest and largest events, only after the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup.
