The foreign ministry has organized many events to introduce Vietnamese culture to international friends, such as a cuisine festival offering typical dishes of Vietnamese regions, a program on the history of Vietnamese silk, an exchange program themed “Return to the cultural space of Xu Doai,” and a real-life show “The Essence of the North”.

Appreciating the Vietnamese ministry’s organization of the gathering, Romanian Ambassador to Vietnam Cristina Romila committed to promoting close relations between Vietnam and partners.

She also emphasised the efforts of Vietnam in empowering women, noting that the program exploring Vietnamese culture and traditions has shown the role of women in all historical periods in the country.
