Mid-Autumn Festivals held for Vietnamese children in Hungary, Germany

It was the first Mid-Autumn Festival after a two-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A performance by overseas Vietnamese children

Various folk games and music performances were organized, attracting not only Vietnamese participants but also Hungarian friends. They also had a chance to enjoy numerous traditional Vietnamese dishes, such as “bun cha” (grilled pork with noodle), “goi cuon” (spring rolls), “nem ran” (fried spring rolls) and “che” (a Vietnamese sweet dessert).

The Vietnamese association and Embassy of Vietnam in Hungary took the occasion to honor 95 Vietnamese students for their excellent academic performance in the 2021 – 2022 school year.

Meanwhile, thousands of children, who are second and third-generation Vietnamese living in Germany’s Berlin, on September 11 gathered at Dong Xuan Center for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The organizers prepared about 3,000 gift packages and thousands of star lanterns imported from Vietnam for children at the event.

Minister Counselor of the Vietnamese Embassy in Berlin Chu Duc Tuan praised the organizers for holding such a meaningful event for Vietnamese children. He also expressed his delight that the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional custom of Vietnamese, has been preserved in Berlin, the heart of Germany.

He also thanked local authorities for their support for the Vietnamese community here and enabling them to maintain and promote traditional culture for the next generations.

It demonstrated the practical and effective implementation of the Vietnam – Germany strategic partnership, Tuan said.
