Palestinian Ambassador to Vietnam Saadi Salama highlighted the festival's organization, saying he was pleased that Hue invited art troupes from many nations to perform and introduce their cultures to the Vietnamese people and visitors.
However, some researchers said that the preservation of the unique mausoleums, temples, pagodas and traditional Hue songs should receive more attention in future festivals.
