According to the organizers, the exhibition is one of the various activities to spread Vietnamese culture among the local population. The event is held under the “Vietnam is welcome in Saintes” program to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and France in 2023.

Besides, a fashion show was also held on February 9 by amateur models from Vietnam, which attracted a large number of people, both locals, and tourists in France.

Nhung Lehoux, President of the Vietnam 17 Association and representative of the event’s organizers affirmed that the presentation of Vietnam’s ethnic minority costumes not only helps spread Vietnamese culture among the French but also encourages them to explore the country’s colorful culture by themselves.

“By promoting tourism and culture, the indigenous people of Vietnam will have a chance to improve their lives and income,” he said.

The costumes and objects of ethnic minorities on display belong to the private collection of the French collector Alain Dussarps.

These unique artifacts have been presented in Saintes for the first time, leaving a good impression on the city’s inhabitants.

Annick Alhopez, a local, expressed her interest in joining the event. These costumes remind her of her last trip to Vietnam a few years ago.

“Most of the costumes in the parade are very unique, colorful, and eye-catching. Vietnam has many beautiful landscapes and its people are very friendly and cheerful. I love visiting the country,” she told a reporter from Vietnam News Agency.

Vietnam is expected to organize a series of cultural events between now and June, including cartoon screenings, Vietnamese story readings for children, talks on Vietnam in secondary and high schools in France, seminars on tourism and economic discussions on Vietnam, musical and artistic performances by Vietnamese ethnic minorities, among others.

Dinh Toan Thang, Vietnamese Ambassador to France said that these cultural activities contribute to honoring the traditional cultural identity and beauty of Vietnam in France. They also help to further strengthen the friendship and people’s understanding between the two countries.

Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
