Venezuelan Cultural Day in Hanoi
On the morning of June 21, Venezuelan Cultural Day took place in Hanoi, an activity to enhance the friendly and cooperative relationship between Vietnam and Venezuela.
Venezuela is influenced by Latin American style and culture, expressed through all aspects of life such as painting, architecture, music, historical works... Venezuelan culture is formed on the basis of three main factors: the culture of indigenous Indians, Spaniards and black Africans.
Venezuela's rich and diverse culture is reflected in its thousand-year history with 51 ethnic communities and 31 languages, a culture that is a blend of European and African peoples.
