Sommerfest, the annual festival in Augsburg city, featured nearly 40 booths from various countries. One of the booths was hosted by Huong Viet, an online magazine of Vietnamese people in Germany, and the local Vietnamese community. There were also performers bringing to the stage songs and dances from Vietnam while wearing red T-shirts with five-pointed yellow stars, the colors of the Vietnamese flag.

A central stage was set up for cultural performances by the countries selected by Augsburg city and Vietnam was the only Asian representative to perform this year, reported VNA.

Mayor of Augsburg city Martina Wild believes thanks to the participation of the Vietnamese community, people of the city can experience the vibrant characteristics of the Southeast Asia nation. People were impressed with the food and images of Vietnam at the multicultural event.

Pham Khanh Nam, Editor-in-chief of the Huong Viet magazine, said that the Vietnamese booth at Sommerfest not only displayed the country's culture but also helped demonstrate the country’s solidarity and love for peace.

Also, the red T-shirts with five-pointed yellow stars, the colors of the Vietnamese flag, and the map of the country worn by Vietnamese people there, said Nam, affirmed its sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly).

Meanwhile, the colorful traditional attires like Ao Dai or Ao Tu Than (the four-panel traditional dress, commonly worn in the Northern part of the country) left a good impression on international friends.
