HUFO Chairman Nguyen Ngoc Ky hoped that via regular peace and friendship activities organised by the union, mutual understanding and solidarity between the people of Vietnam and Hanoi in particular, and those of countries around the world, especially in Asia, will be tightened.

Lao Ambassador to Vietnam Khamphao Ernthavanh stressed that the event created a platform for Vietnamese and Hanoi people, and international friends to gain a deeper understanding of the beautiful traditional festivals that have existed for a long time in each country.
