Ma Mingqiang, secretary general of China-ASEAN Center, said culture is one of the most important fields in the pragmatic cooperation between China and ASEAN.
"As the prelude of the year of cultural exchange between China and ASEAN in 2014, I hope that the performance will further strengthen ties and promote mutual understanding between China and ASEAN including Vietnam," Ma said.
Kong Xuanyou, Chinese ambassador to Vietnam, said the cooperation between China and Vietnam has made remarkable achievement in the past year, especially people-to-people exchange.
"The performance represents Chinese warm-hearted greetings to Vietnamese people," Kong said.
Before coming to Hanoi, the art troupe has performed in Cambodia and southern Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City.
