New Delhi [India], October 8: In a remarkable initiative to strengthen cultural ties between India and Vietnam, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Vietnam has collaborated with the India Book of Records (IBR) to promote Indo–Vietnam Cultural Heritage through a series of programs showcasing talent and cultural exchange.
The India Book of Records, the official keeper of Indian records for more than two decades, publishes annual books, monthly magazines, and broadcasts weekly television shows aimed at promoting Indian talent both nationally and internationally. In collaboration with UNESCO–Vietnam, IBR has undertaken multiple projects to celebrate and share the rich cultural heritage of both nations on the global stage.
Earlier this year, IBR launched the book Nguoi Bao Ton Di San – The Guardian of Heritage on February 14, 2025, to honor the shared cultural legacy of India and Vietnam, with launches held in both countries. In addition, IBR announced a film project titled Vuon Tình Yeu – Prem Ki Surdhara, based on Indo–Vietnam culture, at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi. The film’s shooting is currently underway in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, with the second phase scheduled in Hanoi, Vietnam. The film is set to release on February 14, 2026.
These initiatives aim to provide an international platform for Indian talent while celebrating cultural collaboration.
Furthering this mission, IBR organized a Vietnamese Cultural Dance Training Program from October 2–5, 2025, at its head office for young Indian talents. The event successfully brought together Indian participants and Vietnamese experts, offering a unique opportunity for cultural exchange.
This exclusive training was conducted by distinguished Vietnamese artists affiliated with UNESCO, under the expert guidance of Prof. Chu Bao Que, a revered figure in cultural arts and the brand ambassador of this project. The program was led by Dr. Nguyen Hoang Anh (Julia), Artist Chu Thị Hang, and Artist Nguyen Thu Trang, who selected 16 students aged 13 to 17 from various schools for personalized instruction in Vietnamese dance techniques and cultural nuances.
