Paris, The Gulf Observer: As part of his official visit to France, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính visited the Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac Museum on Wednesday (local time), one of Paris’s most distinguished and contemporary cultural institutions dedicated to the preservation and celebration of global civilisations.

During the visit, Prime Minister Chính spent considerable time viewing artefacts from Vietnam and exploring exhibits that reflect the historical ties between Vietnam and France. He expressed his deep impression at the museum’s rich and diverse collections, which vividly showcase the unique characteristics of various world cultures.

The Prime Minister praised the museum’s efforts in preserving a significant number of Vietnamese artefacts that highlight the country’s rich cultural heritage and its longstanding relationship with France — a relationship that has evolved through both challenges and milestones.
