The event is part of the celebration of the 52nd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and India, as well as the 74th anniversary of India’s Republic Day (January 26, 1950 – 2024). Director of the provincial Department of Culture and Sports, Ta Xuan Chanh, mentioned that this program provides an opportunity for local residents to experience the culture of a country with a rich civilization in Asia and around the world. It also allows Indian people to gain a better understanding of the culture of Binh Dinh and Vietnam as a whole, contributing to strengthening the long-standing friendship between the two countries. Binh Dinh province hopes that in the future, the Indian Consulate General in HCM City will continue to enhance people-to-people exchange activities and facilitate connections within the business community, thereby promoting comprehensive cooperation between Binh Dinh and Indian partners. As part of the program, visitors enjoyed a performance of “Tuong” (classical drama) by artists from the Binh Dinh Traditional Theatre, as well as Punjabi dances and a variety of folk and religious dances from the indigenous people of the Punjab region, along the India-Pakistan border.
