On January 26th, an art program themed “Cherishable spring” was organized in Berlin by the Vietnamese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Germany, the International Cooperation Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Youth Theatre to welcome the Lunar New Year (Tet) of the Monkey.

Nearly 1,000 overseas Vietnamese from across Germany and some international friends attended the program.

Speaking at the program, Vietnamese Embassy’s Chargé d'Affaires to Germany Nguyen Viet Cuong stressed that the program is an innovative effort of the Embassy, with the desire of organizing a more meaningful activity to welcome the new spring, and gathering a larger number of overseas Vietnamese under the spirit "of overseas Vietnamese, by overseas Vietnamese and for overseas Vietnamese".

The embassy also announced that some businesses and associations have actively participated in the program in order to support the Embassy to put on an attractive, professional art program to welcome Tet.

Mr. Cuong also expressed the confidence and desire of having more such events organized in the future, because this is an opportunity and a catalyst to strengthen links between the Embassy and the associations and businesses, to build the Overseas Vietnamese community in Germany strongly, solidly and successfully.

With the participation of many artists, the art troupe of the Youth Theater brought a special art program.

This is the first time the Vietnamese Embassy in Germany has organized a cultural and art program to welcome Tet to serve the overseas Vietnamese community with such a large scale./.
