Held as part of the Vietnam Days in the UK 2023 from March 28 to April 27, the program included a photo exhibition on Vietnam-UK relations, art performances, folk games, and “Ao dai” (Vietnamese traditional long dress) show.
The event was organized by the Vietnamese Student Associations of Aston University, the University of Birmingham, and the University of Northampton of the UK and it drew the participation of 150 people, who are Vietnamese and international students and overseas Vietnamese people in the city.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to UK Nguyen Hoang Long called on the Vietnamese student community in the UK to actively introduce Vietnam’s image to British friends, helping promote solidarity, friendship, and people-to-people exchanges between the two sides.

He said that within the framework of Vietnam Days in the UK, a series of activities are held in Birmingham, including a meeting between the Ambassador and the Mayor of Birmingham, as well as talks to discuss joint trade and investment opportunities.
The Ambassador highlighted the role the Midlands region of the UK plays in bilateral cooperative relations, noting that Birmingham and the Midlands will serve as the driving force for the Vietnam – UK relationship moving forward, especially in the fields of education, training, production, trade, and investment.
Director of International Relations at Aston University Matt Dean said that he was very impressed with traditional art programs performed by Vietnamese students, and the program helped British people understand more about the culture and people of Vietnam.
Pham Van Nam, head of the organizing board of the program, said the event contributes to promoting the relationship and solidarity between the two countries. It also aims to create a playground for Vietnamese students studying at universities in the central UK, as well as enhance the connection in the Vietnamese community.
