The event showcased a colorful cultural programme by Vietnamese students trained in Indian classical dances. Some of the participants also shared the valuable experience and fond memories of their ITEC training and their stay in India.

He described each of them as a valuable bridge of goodwill and friendship between India and Vietnam and their peoples.
