In the future, the Association of Wives and Spouses will work with the Vietnamese Embassy in the US to carry out more "Vietnamese Cultural Space" programs at universities in the US and popular community spaces.

Ajay Vinzé, Principal of Costello Business School, highly appreciated the exhibition's significance. He said that the school has many Vietnamese students studying different majors. When they come here, they will feel like they are at home. This is also an effective way to educate students about Vietnam's cultural, social, and historical aspects.
