At the ceremony, the Rector offered a congratulatory address, reporting to the headmaster Chu Van An on the school's achievements in the past year and its determination to achieve even greater success in the new year. The Temple of Literature (Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam) is Vietnam's first university, the "cradle" of research and training in the social sciences and humanities. For a long time, offering incense to the headmaster of Van Mieu on the 4th day of the Lunar New Year has been a traditional springtime custom for the school's staff.

Amidst the joyful and festive atmosphere of the early spring, the delegation also visited and offered incense at the historical sites of the National Mother Nguyen Phi Y Lan Temple (Hanoi), Dau Pagoda and But Thap Pagoda (Bac Ninh).
