The celebration was held by the Hue University and Hue College of Education with
various traditional rituals such as splashing water to pray for prosperity in
the new year, and tying strings around a person’s wrist to wish for good health,
luck and success.
Lao students introduced their unique culture through their traditional dance.
Bunpimay festival is observed on April 13-16 annually to pray for good weather,
health, abundant harvests and prosperity. The programme helps cheer up Lao
students and tightens friendship and solidarity between the two countries.
On the occasion, the Lao Consulate General in Da Nang city presented
certificates of merit to 15 Lao students for their excellent academic
performance.
Universities and colleges across Thua Thien-Hue province have trained about
1,200 Lao students via a cooperation programme between Vietnamese and Lao
localities. Annually, the province provides 10 scholarships for students in
Laos’ provinces of Salavan, Sekong, Champasak, Khammuon and Savannakhet.-VNA
