At a press briefing on April 16, Chairman of the Ha Long People’s Committee Doan Xuan Dan further said the event, themed “Quang Ninh – Convergence and Pervasion”, will be broadcast live on VTV1, VTV4, and the locality’s TV channels.
The event will highlight a special 45-minute performance by local artists and 300 from China, Laos and Thailand, along with a carnival parade expected to draw the participation of more than 3,800 local professional and amateur artists.
