Vietnam joins charity fair in Turkey

This is an annual fair to raise funds to support children in difficult circumstances. This year’s fair was participated in by more than 40 foreign representative agencies and local agencies, organizations and businesses.

At the fair, Vietnam’s stall attracted the attention of the diplomatic corps and visitors with traditional handicraft products such as brocade, rattan products, palm-leaf conical hats and unique art forms such as Dong Ho, silk and lacquer paintings, and water puppetry. Visitors were also impressed with traditional dishes of Vietnam.

Some visitors who had travelled to Vietnam exchanged with Vietnamese students at the stall and expressed their love for the country and people of Vietnam. Many local people, who had never been to Vietnam, also expressed their desire to travel and visit throughout the nation.

This is a meaningful cultural exchange activity, enhancing the cohesion between the Embassy and the local country, and helping promote the Vietnamese culture to Turkish people and international friends./.
