Addressing the opening ceremony, a diplomat from the Vietnamese Embassy in the Republic of Korea (RoK) stressed that the exhibition was a significant event to help the two people understand more about culture and customs of each nation.

Meanwhile, Nguyen Hoang Tuan, Deputy Director of the Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre, expressed his hope that this tour would contribute to boosting relations between the two countries.

On September 6, 2008, the water puppetry group gave a performance to families of Vietnamese wives in the RoK.
