The Bac Ninh authorities coordinated with Indian Embassy in Vietnam to make a floral tribute to mark the 163rd birth anniversary of Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore (May 7, 1861 - 2024) at the international friendship park in the northern province of Bac Ninh.
A statue dedicated to Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore was inaugurated at Bac Ninh’s international friendship park in October 2023.
Tagore is one of the great cultural figures of India. He became the first Asian to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 then visited Vietnam in 1929. Many Vietnamese scholars have studied and translated his works, and his poems have been included in textbooks in the Southeast Asian country's national education curriculum./.
