Vietnam, Denmark boost cooperation in culture

The Danish government will continue to cooperate with Vietnam in realising phase 2 of the project “Dialogues between cultural managers and cultural policy makers”, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST).
Accordingly, from now to 2015, the Danish government will provide Vietnam with about 6.5 million DKK (more than US$1 million) to help develop the country’s contemporary arts and enhance cultural exchange activities between the two countries.
The MCST plans to host an event themed “Vietnam’s Cultural Days in Denmark” in the third quarter of this year, which will include arts and music performances, film screening, paintings and photographic exhibition with the aim of introducing the culture, customs and images of Vietnam and its people to the Danish people.
In the 2006-2010 period, Denmark implemented a national strategy for bilateral cooperation with Vietnam, with five out of seven projects achieving positive results.
