Cultural exchange programmes help the two peoples get deeper insights into each other’s culture, Bien stated, stressing that the Vietnamese Cultural Week in Cambodia will feature Vietnamese art performances, photos of natural landscapes, culture, people, especially natural, tangible and intangible heritages recognised by UNESCO.
He expressed his hope that the event will contribute to elevating cooperation relations to a new height.
