Vietnamese cultural imprint on African soil

Not only have they successfully completed their UN peacekeeping mission, the officers and staff of Vietnam's Level 2 Field Hospital No. 6 in South Sudan have also quietly carried out a special mission: spreading Vietnamese cultural values to the international community at the Peacekeeping Mission.

Vietnamese cuisine always creates a special attraction for international friends.

In diplomatic events, the image of graceful Vietnamese female soldiers in traditional ao dai has left a deep impression on international friends. Ao dai is not simply a costume, but also a symbol of the identity, virtue and elegance of Vietnamese women.

Vietnamese cultural space is also vividly recreated through traditional dishes prepared by soldiers themselves. Fried spring rolls, spring rolls, banh chung, bun bo... become " culinary ambassadors" in multinational exchanges, contributing to introducing the sophistication, richness and familiarity of Vietnamese cuisine .

In particular, folk songs, ca tru, and traditional dances from North to South resounded across the African land and sky as a friendly and unique greeting. These artistic performances not only enriched the exchange activities but also evoked emotions and admiration for the thousand-year-old culture of Vietnam.

Every exchange becomes a cultural bridge

With simple but meaningful actions, military medical officers and staff have turned each meeting into a cultural bridge, contributing to building a friendly and profound image of Vietnam in the hearts of international friends.

Not only are they doctors and nurses performing their professional duties, they are also “cultural ambassadors” who are writing the story of peace and humanity every day – just like the sense of responsibility that Vietnam carries when participating in the United Nations peacekeeping force.
