Successfully holding performing arts competition

Myanmar is a country which has been preserving ancient cultural traditions for thousands of years. Various types of fine arts such as singing, dancing, song composing and playing musical instruments involved in the cultural heritage reflect valuable intangible cultural heritage such as morality, ideology, culture and lifestyle of Myanmar.
Physical and mental, literary and cultural evidence found in the ancient city states of Myanmar and contemporary cultural evidence of neighbouring countries prove Myanmar as a country with high cultural standards. It is a country that has firmly established its own national cultural identity through linguistic richness, invaluable cultural traditions, and subtle and profound forms of art.
