The trip has great significance, demonstrating the deep concern of the Party Committee and the Ho Chi Minh City government for overseas Vietnamese. At the same time, the performances are also considered a spiritual gift from the city's artists, helping overseas Vietnamese ease their homesickness and celebrate the traditional New Year happily and warmly," Mr. Phan Quoc Kiet shared.

People's Artist Ta Minh Tam shared that this is the second time he has come here to perform for overseas Vietnamese, and each time he is very happy to receive the warm love of overseas Vietnamese living in Thailand.

"I am touched to see that our overseas Vietnamese, although living far away from their country, still always turn to their homeland with deep feelings. I am very happy to see them build a good life in this second homeland and make very practical contributions to their country, especially in times of trouble and difficulty" - People's Artist Ta Minh Tam said.

Young singer Thuy Trinh emotionally said, "This is the first time I have performed away from home during Tet. I feel very warmly welcomed by overseas Vietnamese. The most impressive image is that overseas Vietnamese audiences were moved to tears when listening to the soulful melodies of the nation, evoking nostalgia for the homeland during the traditional Tet holiday of the Fatherland."

Meritorious Artist Le Hong Tham, artists Dien Trung and Le Thanh Thao (Tran Huu Trang Theater) all excitedly shared their joy. For them, this was the first time they performed in Thailand and introduced the art of Cai Luong theater to overseas Vietnamese and international friends.

Famous excerpts from reformed opera and cheerful modern songs with good values of Southern folk culture have been welcomed by overseas audiences.

Mr. Phan Quoc Kiet, head of the art troupe, said: "After the performances, overseas Vietnamese confided that even though they live abroad, they always remember and remind the younger generations in their families that they are Vietnamese, descendants of the dragon and the lost dragon, love and respect Uncle Ho very much and all try to contribute to the country's construction, so that Vietnam in general, and Ho Chi Minh City in particular, will increasingly develop, becoming a rich, beautiful and civilized country and city."

The tour will end on February 14 (the 5th day of Tet). Through cultural exchange activities, it will create more emotional ties among the great national unity bloc, including overseas Vietnamese joining hands for a prosperous Vietnam, for a developed, civilized, modern, and affectionate Ho Chi Minh City.
