Hosted by the Vietnamese Students’ Association (VSA) in Hungary under the patronage of the Vietnamese Embassy, the festival brought together over 120 Vietnamese youth and students from 14 European countries, alongside representatives from Vietnamese associations and several Vietnamese embassies in Europe.
Over three days, participants took part in cultural and historical site visits in Budapest, art performances, and team-building activities.
A symposium on integration, start-ups, and career orientation drew strong interest from the attendees, highlighting the festival’s focus on both cultural and professional development.
Bui Le Thai, Vietnamese Ambassador to Hungary, called the festival a prestigious forum showcasing the patriotism and aspirations of Vietnamese youth in Europe.
“I highly value their role in promoting Vietnam’s image and believe that initiatives proposed at the festival will help foster a generation of dynamic, creative, and globally-integrated young intellectuals committed to the homeland,” said Thai.
