On August 11, at Brunei National Airport, the Vietnamese Embassy in Brunei opened the Vietnam Tourism Promotion Space.

This is one of the Embassy's efforts to promote the image of the country, people and culture of Vietnam to the people of Brunei and friends around the world.

Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Tran Anh Vu said that tourism and people-to-people exchange are among the priorities in the Vietnam-Brunei Comprehensive Partnership Implementation Program for the 2023-2027 period.

He said the Vietnam Tourism Promotion Space marks the first time a diplomatic mission has been allowed to use this public space.

To maintain a beautiful space, attracting visitors to come and learn information, Ambassador Tran Anh Vu said, the Vietnamese Embassy will show high-quality videos introducing the country and people of Vietnam, including famous tourist destinations such as Ninh Thuan, Nha Trang and Da Nang.

In particular, the video about Ninh Thuan, where there is a Muslim community, aims to exploit the similarities in Islam with Brunei.

In addition, the event also displayed the photo book Victory of Vietnam News Agency and many other publications on Vietnamese tourism and culture.

Many handicrafts as well as typical Vietnamese products such as coffee, dried fruits and agricultural products are also displayed in the space.

Royal Brunei Airlines General Director Sabirin Abdul Hamid said that the Vietnam Tourism Promotion Space is a product of passion between Vietnam and Brunei, specifically between the Embassy and Royal Brunei Airlines.

According to him, the current frequency of three flights per week from Brunei to Ho Chi Minh City is not commensurate with the potential for cooperation between the two countries.

He expressed hope that with the information provided by the Tourism Promotion Space, the potential for cooperation between the two countries will be further exploited.

Attending the event were honored guests Hoang Thanh Tung, Chairman of the Law Committee of the National Assembly, Brunei Deputy Minister of Transport Mohamad Nazri Mohamad Yusof and many overseas Vietnamese who have wholeheartedly accompanied the Embassy to bring the image of Vietnam closer to friends around the world.
