The Vietnam Week 2024 has been held in Washington D.C, the US, from October 4-12, aiming to honour the country's rich cultural heritage, enrich Vietnamese-American people's identity and commend the achievements of the Vietnamese-American community. Attendees were treated to a display of the Nguyen Dynasty's royal costumes, learned about woodblock prints of 'Truyen Kieu' (The Tale of Kieu), folk songs, and ancient proverbs, and enjoyed dishes with a strong Hue culinary flavour. A heritage and peace youth forum was also organised within the framework of the event. Source: Vietnam News Agency
