Mohamed Amin further shared that the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture of Malaysia is fully committed to supporting the establishment of twin city models, namely Melaka-Hoi An and Langkawi-Phu Quoc, in the future.

Guests attending the festival can sample various traditional Vietnamese food dishes such as banh chung, banh tet, mut, pickled onions, and coffee. They can also explore traditional ao dai stalls and Tet flower markets.

The community aims to introduce the beauty of the Vietnamese traditional Tet holiday to Malaysian and international friends.

The 2024 Vietnamese Tet Festival program features a range of exciting Tet activities, including “Wrapping banh chung to celebrate Vietnamese Tet,” “Vietnamese Tet ao dai costumes,” and traditional art and cultural exchanges.
