The festival, organised on Bredene beach in Northern Belgium, attracted representatives from 20 communist and left-wing parties from many countries.

The Vietnamese delegation visited booths of the PTB and those from communist parties of Cuba, France, Germany and Portugal to share experience and learn about the development of these countries.

On the occasion, Quang met Vice President of the PTB David Pestieau, during which the host praised Vietnam for its recent economic achievements.

Quang highlighted the significance of the festival in promoting solidarity among communist parties, the working class and labourers.

It offers a good chance for Vietnam to enhance solidarity with communist parties worldwide, he said, adding that Vietnam intends to open a booth at next year’s festival to introduce Vietnamese food and culture to international friends.

Mario Franssen, director of the Manifiesta festival, applauded the support of the Vietnamese Embassy, expressing his hope to see a Vietnamese booth at next year’s event.

In its 10th edition, Manisfiesta is a festival of solidarity, diversity, unity, and is an important message of Belgium with the country severely divided between the French-speaking region and the Dutch-speaking region.
