Vietnam attends charitable fair in Greece

This has been a major event among Athens-based foreign embassies for nearly the past 20 years. This year, the charitable fair, with the participation of nearly 40 embassies and some Greek organizations in Athens, attracted a great number of Greek people and international guests.

Apart from stalls exhibiting cultural and handicraft products as well as tourism publications, the fair saw unique art performances coming from many parts of the world, bringing a joyful atmosphere to the fair.

This was the 3^rd time the Vietnamese Embassy in Greece attended the event, showing publications, DVDs and pictures introducing the Vietnamese country, people, tourism and cultural festivals, as well as cooking recipes for typical Vietnamese dishes in the English language. In addition, some Vietnamese traditional dishes and typical handicraft products were also on display.

As the present Chair of the ASEAN member country Committee in Greece, the Vietnamese Embassy in Greece worked with ASEAN member country Embassies in Greece to actively participate in the event.

After the fair, it handed over a majority of the cash coming from selling Vietnamese typical products to the organization “The Friends of the Child” to help disadvantaged Greek children./.
