Attendees were treated to a display of the Nguyễn Dynasty's royal costumes, learned about woodblock prints of Truyện Kiều (The Tale of Kiều), folk songs, and ancient proverbs, and enjoyed dishes with a strong Huế culinary flavour
Andrew Well Dang, an expert on Việt Nam at the US Institute of Peace (USIP), said Việt Nam boasts a rich and diverse culture shaped by its long history which needs to be introduced to the world. This programme has presented many aspects in a way that resonates with the American public, he added.
Erin Stenhauer Phuong, founder of the Vietnam Society, said that the event helps enhance community cohesion to preserve the traditional values of Vietnamese culture.
A heritage and peace youth forum was also organised within the framework of the event, which empowers young Vietnamese-Americans and young Vietnamese people who are living, studying, and working in the US to share their ideas and visions for the future.
Experts from the US Institute of Peace, scholars, and representatives from the Diplomatic Academy of Việt Nam were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion with the youth, aiming to build a shared vision for a prosperous and peaceful Việt Nam.
