''There are many reasons why Laotian students cannot return to their homeland to celebrate the traditional New Year with their families. Empathizing with Laotian students, UD-UED has organized the Vietnamese - Lao Culture Festival to enable Vietnamese students and Lao students to connect and conduct cultural exchange through the activities carrying the rituals of Bunpimay and Vietnamese cultural activities. I believe that Lao students will have memorable experiences on Bunpimay in Vietnam, reducing the nostalgia for family, homeland and country”, Dr. Bui Bich Hanh said.
