QUANG NAM — The central district of Dien Ban has reserved 2.6ha to build the Viet Nam-Korea Cultural Exchange Centre, Vice Chairman of Dien Ban People’s Commitee Nguyen Xuan Ha told Viet Nam News.
Ha said the US$5 million centre - funded by the Viet Nam Veterans Association of Korea (VVAK) - will include an exhibition centre, vocational and Korean language training, a Taekwondo gym and major space for hosting annual cultural activities of South Korea and Viet Nam.
The centre, located near the historic town of Hoi An and the newly-unveiled 8km Ha My Beach, aims to draw South Korean tourists and other foreign visitors.
In October, the Korean-Vietnamese Peace Foundation donated 52 items — including documents, photos, books, visual dics, postcards and the "Viet Nam Pieta" statue — to Da Nang’s museum to commemorate 41 years since the end of the Viet Nam war. — VNS
