Vu Thi Kim Lien, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Women's Union in Hai Phong City, said, “The festival is not only a meeting place for those who love traditional culture, but also a symbol of the strong aspiration of Vietnamese and Hai Phong women in the new era, the era of knowledge, will power and global integration. That is also the common aspiration of the Vietnamese people on our path of sustainable development. That journey is bringing Vietnamese Ao Dai to the world, becoming a bright symbol of Vietnamese culture and a beautiful mark in the hearts of international friends.”
