At the Embassy, students visited the campus and the exhibition area of Vietnamese cultural artifacts, from traditional ceramics, miniature Dong Son bronze drum models to cultural symbols typical of regions.

The children watched a short film introducing the natural landscape, people and diverse culture of Vietnam; and visited the exhibition area displaying prize-winning paintings from the painting contest commemorating the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The paintings with innocent and lively strokes expressed the special solidarity between Vietnam and Cuba through the eyes of children.
