At the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong emphasized the greater importance of this light-hearted event. The circus is an opportunity for domestic and international circus artists to showcase their talents, create art, increase solidarity, exchange cultures, learn from experience, and contribute to the development of circus in Vietnam, the region, and the world.

According to Deputy Minister Ta Quang Dong, the festival is also an opportunity for the host country's artists to introduce the value of Vietnam's circus art to international friends. Additionally, it allows for art managers and Vietnamese circus artists to exchange experiences with international organizations in the process of art creation. As with any large event in Vietnam, the circus also promotes the beauty of Vietnam and its people.
