The festival was attended by more than 60 nations.
The embassies sent the festival their traditional, unique dishes, and the fried spring roll of the Vietnamese Embassy was a favorite for many people.
Speaking at the festival, Ms. Houda Zalui Lehassen, President of SHOM, praised the diplomatic missions that brought special dishes to the fair and highlighted the social and human significance of the fair organized every year.
The fair is a chance for exchanges among countries to strengthen national solidarity and call for support for disadvantaged people in society.
On this occasion, an auction of handicrafts, jewelry, souvenirs and wine was also held.
All proceeds from the event, including entrance fees, auction and contributions from donors, will be used to help disabled and orphaned children in Indonesia./.
