Wearing traditional ao dai while visiting the Temple of Literature, beating the thunder drum, wrapping banh chung, and taking part in community activities, many ambassadors and diplomatic representatives in Vietnam have directly “touched” Vietnamese Tet through concrete cultural experiences.

Over two days, January 31 and February 1, at Tenjin-Kihinkan Central Park in the city of Fukuoka, the Consulate General of Viet Nam in Fukuoka, in coordination with the Vietnam Association in Fukuoka and the Vietnam Business Association in Kyushu, organized the Homeland Spring 2026 - Vietnamese Lunar New Year in Fukuoka, the seventh edition of the event.

Amid the nationwide celebrations welcoming the Year of the Horse (Binh Ngo) Spring 2026 and marking the successful conclusion of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnamese communities in many countries, including Malaysia, Laos, China, and New Zealand, have organized Homeland Spring and Vietnamese Tet programs featuring a wide range of culturally rich activities. These events have contributed to strengthening bonds within overseas Vietnamese communities, spreading sentiments toward the Homeland, and enhancing people-to-people exchanges.

From February 5-6, an estimated 1,000 overseas Vietnamese delegates are expected to take part in a meaningful series of connectivity programs on the occasion of Tet and the arrival of Spring in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC).
