The bright colours of traditional Khmer clothes can be seen everywhere in Can Tho as 15,000 of them gather for a four-day festival of culture, sports and tourism that opens today. The event is aimed at preserving the cultural identity of the Khmers, who are spread over 12 provinces and cities in the south, enriching their cultural life, and contributing to the development of their areas. It is organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Can Tho City People’s Committee. An art troupe from each of the provinces and cities – An Giang, Bac Lieu, Binh Phuoc, Ca Mau, Can Tho, Hau Giang, HCM City, Kien Giang, So Trang, Tay Ninh, Tra Vinh, and Vinh Long – will perform at the festival.
