In this vibrant atmosphere, the Vietnamese delegation made a special mark, bringing the image of Vietnam and its people closer to international friends.

The Ao Dai Love Collection fashion show, created on Salakhe silk, led audiences on an artistic journey where tradition met contemporary creativity. The image of models wearing hand-painted conical hats featuring the symbols of 10 Southeast Asian countries, set against the background music “Chopstick” by Phuong My Chi, not only honored Vietnamese culture but also conveyed a strong message of Asian unity - shining together.
