To mark the 45th anniversary of the HCM City Photography Association (November 1981–November 2026), the association has proposed installing a sculpture of photographer Lâm Tấn Tài (1935–2001) at Chi Lăng Park in the city's Sài Gòn Ward. Tài was the association’s first general secretary and a prominent figure in revolutionary Vietnamese photography.

The Hà Nội Academy of Theatre and Cinema will present its production Bedtime Story at the Incheon Multilingual Theatre Festival in South Korea.

Teaching traditional dance and songs to children growing up overseas has never been easy. Differences in living environments and ways of thinking, together with pronunciation influenced by the local language, mean that the children need more time to grasp rhythms and pronounce Vietnamese correctly.

The National Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance reported that Việt Nam welcomed nearly 2 million international visitors in August, up 19.7 per cent from July and 18.4 per cent year-on-year. The figure represented 63.6 per cent of the tourism sector’s full-year target of 25 million arrivals.

The increasing frequency of such visits indicates that Việt Nam is receiving greater attention in the promotional and distribution strategies of Asian film projects.

The top selected films are given screening platforms across universities and community centres to use storytelling for social change, the film competition organisers shared.

Over the two days, the festival featured a range of cultural, artistic and community activities, including a Japanese speech contest for Vietnamese participants, quizzes on Japanese law, culture and history, a Japanese karaoke contest, art performances and Yosakoi exchanges.

The contest aims to inspire a love for the Vietnamese language and encourage children to cherish and confidently use it, while also spreading Vietnamese culture.
