Speaking at the program, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc shared that as a country located in the lower Mekong River basin - a legendary river flowing through five countries, generations of Vietnamese people have followed the river to come - relied on the river to live - and developed thanks to the river. The message "Flow" is not only an image of nature, but also a metaphor for the inheritance and continuation of the "quintessence" distilled from history, heritage, and cultural depth of each country along the river, to then blend and crystallize into everlasting values.
Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc also affirmed that the theme "Flow of Essence" is not only a welcome to distinguished guests to beautiful and peaceful Vietnam, but also a message of friendship and cooperation for sustainable development, to nurture the flow of nature and culture of communities and ethnic groups in the development process.
Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc delivered the opening speech of the program.
The program is also a welcome from Ho Chi Minh City to friends around the world with a new look, space, and potential: A modern megacity, the leading dynamic economic and financial center of the country with an increasingly developed transportation and logistics infrastructure system, strong inter-regional and international connections.
A megacity that harmoniously converges many cultures, where traditional identity blends with modern, creative life; with a rich history, mountains - forests - rivers - seas, the first island ramsan area of Vietnam, a mangrove biosphere reserve recognized by UNESCO... In particular, Ho Chi Minh City is a megacity that is gradually becoming a regional event - MICE center, and at the same time an attractive, dynamic and promising tourist destination.
The art program is a warm greeting that Vietnam sends to international friends, starting the journey of connecting culture, tourism and friendship.
The art night brought many special performances such as: "Welcome Ho Chi Minh City" shadow dance, "Mashup Hello Ho Chi Minh City" sending warm greetings to international friends; Short film Ho Chi Minh City - the flow of quintessence introducing the unique features of culture, festivals, cuisine and the city's rise in the new era; "Cultural quintessence" performance recreating heritage through reformed opera, classical drama, martial arts music; "Heritage quintessence" ao dai collection inspired by traditional craft villages...
