At the event, Vietnamese Ambassador Le Linh Lan stressed the significance and important role of “Pho” (noodle) in Vietnamese culture; brief descriptions of the main components of beef noodle soup, way and space to enjoy the traditional dish and its practical effects.

She also said that the Japan Anniversary Association has officially chosen April 4^th as the annual “Vietnamese Pho Day” in Japan to honour the delicious dish of the Vietnamese culture.

This is the first time Vietnam’s traditional “Pho” has a separate celebration day. According to the Ambassador, “Pho” is regarded as a pride of the Vietnamese culture and people. “Pho” has become more popular around the world, including New York, London and Tokyo.

After introducing “Pho”, a large number of people at the event witnessed Chef Duong Van Chung displaying a bowl of “Pho” and then enjoying it with a cup of Vietnamese coffee.

Mr. Arturo Perez Behr, Head of the a Mexican import-export association (ANIERM), and Ms. Therese Margolis, a friend of Vietnam, praised the excellent “Pho” dish and considered it part of the beautiful culture of Vietnam. 

Ambassador Le Linh Lan hoped that through the event, Mexican friends would further understand Vietnam’s culinary culture and help them understand more about the Vietnamese culture and be increasingly closer to Vietnam./.
