Speaking at the event, Vice President of the NUOL Thongsouk Keomany said this event has built a platform for Lao teachers and students to appreciate the friendly cooperation between Laos and China, further enhancing the traditional friendship and mutual understanding between the two countries.
Li Yiping, director of the China Cultural Centre in Laos, said this was the first time that the China Cultural Centre in Laos and the NUOL jointly organized the poetry event “Viewing the Same Moon Together — Reading Poems for the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,” which promotes the traditional Chinese culture and Chinese poetry into campuses and among Lao youth.
Li emphasized that it is important to promote cultural exchanges between China and Laos.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, taking place annually on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, will be observed on Sept. 17 this year.
