When France faced the Covid-19 wave, many aid and masks from Vietnamese partners and people were sent to the French Embassy while France donated 2 million doses of vaccine to Vietnam.

“The people’s affection for the two countries has developed in a clear and vibrant way, which has contributed to increasing the warm affection, mutual understanding, and the friendship between Vietnamese and French people,” said the Ambassador.

The festival is also marked by the singing of the traditional “Soran Bushi” song, which was once sung by local fishermen as they went herring fishing.

Mai also felt that Hollywood movies often depicted Vietnamese women as victims or “blank characters,” without the ability to make their own decisions. For many years, Mai and vari...
