The Vietnamese Embassy actively participates in such events. This is an opportunity to promote the image, country, and people of Vietnam to Moroccan friends, thereby increasing mutual understanding of culture and people.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Morocco brought a display of cultural products, tourism publications, videos introducing the country and people of Vietnam, folk games, and a special performance program.

Vietnam's cultural space has attracted a large number of visitors to visit and admire. Games such as Ô ăn quan (literally Mandarin Square Capturing), and teaching how to use chopsticks to pick up cashews were liked by Moroccans.

The Vietnamese booth, showcasing nón lá (conical hats), paper fans, ao dai-trying, and photographs and paintings of the country’s landscape and culture, attracted plenty of visitors, especially youngsters.

Especially at the art exchange program, a dance performance based on the song "Seeing Love" by Vietnamese students in Morocco stirred up the 800-person auditorium of Rabat Faculty of Sciences.

Through this event, many Moroccans and international friends know and understand more about Vietnam, and it is an opportunity to encourage more tourists to visit Vietnam.
