She also emphasized the importance of cultural exchange activities, such as promoting Quan ho folk singing, Dong Ho folk paintings and other cultural forms of Bac Ninh to the Japanese people, thereby fostering sustainable friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Japan.
House Representative Yamamoto Gousei thanked the leaders of Bac Ninh for their warm reception and praised the province's potential and efforts. He expressed his hope that Bac Ninh will continue to facilitate and organize more exchange and cooperation activities across various fields, further strengthening the friendship between Japan and Vietnam.
