Cultural showcase to open at end of August

Seoul (VNA)- A Vietnamese cultural showcase is scheduled to open at the end of August in the Republic of Korea’s (RoK) National Folk Museum in Seoul, to promote the country’s many different cultures.

The Welcome to Vietnam showcase and another on Mongolian culture (Senbeno
Mongolia) are the first two items launched this year in the RoK, where almost 1.2
millions foreigners live.

With this programme, children in the RoK will be able to find out more about the
country’s range of diverse cultures, which will help to stamp out cultural
problems in the country.

Through the showcase, the visitors will have chances to find out about Vietnam’s
history, its language, environment, cuisine, customs, religions, musical
instruments and traditional games by examining the plentiful and vivid documents
and artefacts.

At present, there are over 90,000 Vietnamese people living and working in the RoK,
the second largest foreign community after China including 35,000 Vietnamese
brides married to Korean men.-Enditem
