The space introduces visitors to the colourful cultures and histories of the 21 participating countries to the Army Games, including China, Armenia, Egypt, Iraq, Vietnam, and the host Russia.
Themed ‘The Vietnamese People’s Army: Tradition, Integration and Development’, the Vietnamese team stall was decorated with conical hats. It welcomed hundreds of visitors on the launch day, all of them receiving a warm welcome from the Vietnamese soldiers.
Visitors to the stall are invited to taste Vietnamese tea, ‘banh dau xanh’ (mung bean cake), lotus seed jam, and ginger jam. They can also try their hand at printing Dong Ho folk paintings and bring home the results as souvenirs.
Ivan Kiselov, a young soldier from the Russian team, said he was excited to try his hand at making a Dong Ho folk painting entitled ‘Chan Trau Thoi Sao’ (Pastor playing a flute).
