The latest images of reconstruction in Fukushima Prefecture after the
earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan two years ago will be featured
at the Fukushima Festival in Hanoi from November 2-3.
Jointly
organised by the Fukushima chapter of the Japan-Vietnam Friendship
Association and the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam, the event is to show
Fukushima’s gratitude to supports given by the Vietnamese people when
the region was hit by the natural disaster.
It is also expected
to contribute to promoting reconstruction in the locality, while
further strengthening friendship between the two countries.
As
part of the activities to mark the 40th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan
diplomatic relation, the event will exhibit images depicting important
milestones in the diplomatic ties between Fukushima and Vietnam.
Many stalls will be set up to introduce visitors to Japanese culture,
such as tea ceremonies and sake rice wine. Japanese traditional
costumes will also be put on show at the event.-VNA
