Vietnam Festival 2023
The Vietnam Festival 2023 Executive Committee [Honorary Chairman: Yasuo Fukuda (Former Prime Minister of Japan), Executive Chairman: Pham Quang Hieu (Next Ambassador of Vietnam to Japan), Co-Chairman: Yoichiro Aoyagi (Member of the House of Representatives)] will hold the Vietnam Festival 2023, a commemorative event for the 50th anniversary of Japan-Vietnam diplomatic relations, at Yoyogi Park Event Square on June 3 (Saturday) and 4 (Sunday), 2023.
The Vietnam Festival, held annually, is the only government-approved overseas exchange event by the Vietnamese government. Through this event, it creates opportunities for the Japanese people to better understand Vietnam. It plays a role as a platform for cultural exchange between Japan and Vietnam, conveying the fun and beauty of Vietnam to the Japanese public, encouraging exchanges between Vietnamese residents and Japanese people, and promoting cooperation between Japanese and Vietnamese businesses. In 2023, the 50th anniversary of Japan-Vietnam diplomatic relations, we look forward to a more enriched Vietnam Festival.
