A series of events will
take place from April 9 to
mark the start of the Year of
France in Vietnam on the oc-
casion of the 40th anniver-
sary of diplomatic relations
between the two countries.
Around 100 culture,
economic, science and edu-
cation events take place until
the end of 2013. The Viet
Nam-France Business Forum
is scheduled to be held in Ho
Chi Minh City from April 7
to 9, with delegations from
over 130 French companies
and groups.
The French Ambassador
to Vietnam, Jean Noel Poiri-
er, said that the bilateral ties
are of trust and friendship.
Buffalo Tours Agency,
in association with the In-
ternational
Mindfulness
and NLP Practitioner, Najla
Ammouri, is organising a
mindfulness and empower-
ment retreat in Vietnam. It
has been specially created
to let participants discov-
er their passion and their
purpose. Limited to 20-25
persons and designed to
disconnect you from your
hectic daily life, this unique
retreat aims to recharge
and rejuvenate participants
through private coaching
sessions. It is organised
partly in Hanoi, where
culture and traditions will
enrich your mind, and
partly in the magnificent
Halong Bay.

lic spaces in Vietnam,” said

bassador to Vietnam. Dead-
