At the working session, the two centers had the discussion on their cooperation process in recent times, as well as orientations to new cooperation programs in the coming time.

In recent times, the two centers have cooperated in the fields of culture and arts. In early 2022, they jointly attended a virtual seminar on the topic of "Sustainable development in tourism" with Shuri City (Okinawa, Japan); as well as a virtual seminar in Asia and Okinawa on the traditional performing art, which was participated by a number of countries, such as: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and India.

The two centers have also determined that closer cooperation relationships are necessary in the coming time, including the organization of scientific seminars, the coordination of exchanging and training experts in the fields of culture, arts, and landscapes, etc.

Hue’s yellow apricot blossom… snubbed by the emperor

Ask the people of Hue what flower they love most, and most will likely answer: the apricot blossom. To put it more formally, “hoang mai” - yellow apricot, without a doubt. Don’t believe it? Come to Hue and see for yourself! There’s a whole movement called “Yellow apricot blossom in front of the entrance”; a completed research project on “Conservation and development of Hue’s yellow apricot variety (Hue’s Hoang mai)”; a scientific conference on developing Hue’s Hoang mai into a key local product, aimed at successfully realizing the project to build Thua Thien Hue province (now Hue City) into Vietnam’s yellow apricot homeland. My friend, journalist Minh Tu, even published a book called “In front of the house stands a yellow apricot tree”, which sold out instantly, was reprinted, and translated into foreign languages to great acclaim.
