At the press conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Hung emphasized that Quang Tri was once considered a "battlefield", "border town", "fence" and was chosen as the capital of the country three times in history.
During the resistance wars for national independence, Quang Tri was the place that suffered much pain, sacrifice and loss, and witnessed many cruel and destructive scenes of war. Here, the “sacred land has bloomed the flower of peace” by reviving and rising up, flourishing from the ashes of destruction.
For that reason, Quang Tri is the most suitable choice, a place of connecting bridges, a deep touch in people's hearts to organize a festival for the first time in Vietnam on a national and international scale with a message of peace.
