Marking yet another milestone in Vietnam - Sri Lanka relations, a sapling of the Sacred Sri Maha Bodhiya Bodhi Tree of Anuradhapura was brought to Vietnam.

The Hanoi's Vietnam - India Friendship Association has cooperated with the Cultural Committee under the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) to hold a Bodhi Tree planting ceremony at Yen Phu Pagoda in Thanh Tri District of Hanoi. This is the first tree in the project to plant 75 trees in Hanoi to celebrate the India's 75th Independence Day anniversary (August 15, 1947 - 2021).
