As Vietnam chairs ASEAN in 2010, the Foreign Ministry will work with other ministries and agencies to design cultural events that can be integrated into political and economic activities involving Vietnam’s ranking leaders.
Chau said that over the past year, Vietnam carefully learned from the experiences of other countries around the world, and these lessons serve to inform the country in building its own strategy.
A legal corridor for cultural diplomacy has also been worked on, creating a new impetus for Vietnam’s international integration process.
Last year, Vietnam organised various cultural activities overseas to increase relations with foreign countries, such as Vietnam Week in Myanmar and a Vietnam cultural exhibition in Japan.
