The Vietnamese mission brought ceramic, lacquer, brocade and silk products to the event, along with traditional dishes like spring rolls, banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and iced milk coffee to the event.

Visiting the two booths of Vietnam, President of the 78th session of the U.N. General Assembly Dennis Francis expressed his hope to visit the country in the near future to directly experience the local culture and cuisine.

After the event, Vietnam was one of countries which contributed the most from their proceeds to the organizers' charity fund.

The U.N. International Bazaar is organized annually by the club for spouses of representatives of U.N. member states, aiming to promote exchanges, strengthen ties among member states, and raise funds for humanitarian activities and projects.

The Permanent Mission of Vietnam has regularly taken part in this event with a view to introducing the country's good values to the international community and diplomatic missions at the U.N. headquarters, and also enhance the solidarity among members of Vietnam's presentative bodies in New York.
