The news was released by Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Dai at a meeting with officials from Me Linh District to discuss agricultural productivity.

The last flower festival, themed “Me Linh’s Brilliant Flowers” was a success, attracting large crowds by showcasing and promoting flowers of all kinds, ornamental plants, OCOP goods, and handicraft villages.

According to him, Me Linh District is the leading producer of vegetables and flowers in the city. There has been an increase in the value of agricultural products, which has had a positive impact on the city’s overall performance.

In order to increase the area of high-quality organic rice, the ministry will cooperate with Me Linh District and invest in technology and equipment for the initial processing and preservation of agricultural products, the official said.

Hoang Anh Tuan, Chairman of Me Linh District People’s Committee, hoped that by organizing the Flower Festival every year, the event would become a unique cultural tourism product of the locality to attract more visitors.

Me Linh District, on the outskirts of Hanoi, has nearly 8,100 hectares of agricultural land. Many high-tech agricultural models with investments in modern machinery and equipment have initially achieved high economic efficiency, including an organic Japonica rice production model in Tam Dong commune, a high-tech Phalaenopsis orchid production model in Dai Thinh commune, and another that combines organic rice production with adventure tourism in Tam Dong commune.

Me Linh District has 75 OCOP products, including 24 four-star products and 51 others rated with three stars. In 2023, the district plans to submit another 30 products for three-star or higher certification.

Vietnamese Dance Team to Participate in Summer Festival in Japan

The Yosakoi Soran festival, one of Japan’s most renowned summer festivals, has been around for more than three decades. Since 1992, the Annual Naruko Festival has been held in Hokkaido at the beginning of June. People celebrate traditional music and dances performed with Naruko, an ancient Japanese percussion instrument. 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. At Sapporo Odori Park in Sapporo, Japan, dance teams competed for four days, from June 7-11. This year, for the first time, the festival utilized Virtual Reality (VR) technology to present 3D performances.

Vietnamese writer shares love of homeland in award-winning English-language book

A dream Mai, originally from Ninh Binh Province in northern Vietnam, wrote “The Mountains Sing” as a way to spread Vietnamese literature and culture by recounting the story of a Vietnamese family’s journey through the twentieth century, including their trials and tribulations during the French Colonial period, the separation of the North and the South, the Vietnam War, and the present day. Her inspiration for the novel was a deep frustration that language barriers were a major obstacle for international readers who wished to access Vietnamese literature.  The books on Vietnam that English-language readers did have access to were primarily about the Vietnam War and written by Western writers who gave their Vietnamese characters little-to-no voice, using them mostly as background characters. 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...
