Culture - Sports

Nearly 40 international athletes have been stationed in Cat Ba for almost a month ahead of the opening night, undergoing rigorous daily rehearsals.

The opening ceremony, scheduled for 8 pm on May 31, will feature not only fireworks displays but also a musical gala.

Titled “Russia in My Soul”, the exhibition showcases nearly 50 oil paintings by artist Claudie Van at the All-Russian Decorative Art Museum under the Russian Ministry of Culture.

The Vietnamese team also pocketed three silvers and 11 bronzes, helping make the ASBC Asian U22 & Youth Boxing Championships Vietnam's most successful tournament ever.

A solemn ceremony was held on May 19 at the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Thailand to mark the 135th birth anniversary of the late Vietnamese leader.

Through each page, the beloved leader comes to life in a vivid and authentic way, a man who devoted his entire life to the people and his comrades, always kind and modest, firm yet full of compassion.

The selected films aim to help the audience learn more about national history, foster patriotism and revolutionary heroism, and nurture the spirit of solidarity, national pride, and self-reliance.

The exhibition aims to deepen public understanding and appreciation of ASEAN — a community increasingly recognised for its positive contributions to regional and global peace, stability, cooperation and development.

As a honorary guest at the event for the first time, Vietnam presented a unique cultural and art performance programme, bringing overseas Vietnamese closer to their homeland.

The players consist of Do Duy Manh and Nguyen Hai Long (Hanoi FC), Nguyen Hoang Duc (Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club), and Nguyen Van Vi (Thep Xanh Nam Dinh FC).

The digitisation of historical and cultural relics is helping to preserve and promote the rich heritage of Phu Tho.

Vietnam currently ranks fifth among Asian U23 teams, following Uzbekistan, Japan, Iraq, and the Republic of Korea.
