A 21-strong art troupe from Bangladesh will make a tour of Vietnam from November 22-27 to mark the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two nations.

The troupe plans to perform at the Hanoi Opera House and the Military Theatre, entertaining local audiences with the Manipuri classical dance, which can trace its origins to an ethnic minority group in the northeastern region of Bangladesh.

A series of folk and semi-classical dances, including Maya lagaiche, and Tagore songs will also be presented.

In addition, the visiting artists will do a special dance representing the Vietnam-Bangladesh friendship, accompanied by modern songs composed by musicians from both countries.
