The magnificent and elaborate program not only accurately reflects the grandeur of the relationship, but also shows the respect that the Vietnamese people have for the important events of Laos.
This important event contributes practically, creating a new step forward in consolidating and developing the great friendship, special solidarity, and strategic linkage between Laos and Vietnam as strongly and brightly as Champa flowers and Golden Lotus flowers, which will forever spread their fragrance and last over time.
The art program consists of 3 chapters with a stream of emotions flowing continuously. In which, chapter 1: "Truong Son - A source of solidarity" is a historical film made of music, recreating the heroic spirit of the years of side by side, sharing sweetness and bitterness between the army and people of the two countries.
Chapter 2: "Champanese Fragrance - Golden Lotus" introduces cultural heritage, honoring the beauty of the country of millions of elephants and Vietnamese vineyards and rivers. Chapter 3: "Sharing a Future" is the explosion of modern, youthful music, expressing the aspiration to rise of the two countries in the new era.
The National Stadium of Laos has been lit up in a mesmerizing art space, with multi-dimensional LED screens, combined with advanced 3D Mapping technology. The majestic Truong Son range is vividly recreated, or the images of lotus and Champa flowers "blooming" brilliantly, soaring in the air makes the audience admire and be moved.
Not only is it a cultural event to celebrate the success of the 12th Party Congress of Laos, the program is also an affirmation of the strong vitality of the special Vietnam-Laos relationship in the new era.
By combining traditional values and modern technology, Vietnam has sent the most precious message to the friendly country of Laos: Even if the world changes, the Vietnamese-Lao brotherly love is still an endless "scholar", forever green and eternally sustainable.
