The Vietnamese Consulate General in Frankfurt in conjunction with the
Vietnamese community in Rhein-Main area has held a culture festival
themed “the beauty of Vietnam” in Oberursel city in Germany’s Hessen
state.
According to Consul General Truong Xuan Thanh, the
festival helps give international friends and Vietnamese residents in
Germany a deeper insight into Vietnamese cultural values.
Thanh called on the Vietnamese community to integrate deeply into German
society, abide by the country’s laws and accustom themselves to local
traditions and customs, thus actively contributing to the development
and serving as a bridge for closer the friendship between the two
countries.
Oberursel’s Mayor Hans-Georg Brum said the presence of the Vietnamese community has helped diversify the life in Germany.
Participants enjoyed special dances and songs, a fashion show of Ao
dai (traditional long dress) and a special demonstration of martial
arts.
