Ambassador to India Ton Sinh Thanh said the event was one of a series of
activities designed to celebrate the 45th founding anniversary of Vietnam - India
diplomatic ties (January 7, 1972 - 2017), the 10th anniversary of the
establishment of strategic partnership (July 2007 - 2017) and the 1st anniversary
of comprehensive strategic partnership (September 2016 - 2017).
Thanh
introduced to participants, including foreign diplomats, Indian officials and
people and international friends, the diversity of Vietnam's cuisine, adding
that they demonstrate the brilliant harmony and balance of ingredients and
flavours that ensure a healthy lifestyle.
International
friends can get an insight into Vietnam’s culinary culture in particular and
the country’s culture in general through Vietnamese foods, he noted.
The
ambassador also hoped the event will bring Vietnamese cuisine closer to Indian
people and international friends.
During
the event, the participants enjoyed traditional specialties prepared by
Vietnamese chefs, who will stay for nine days to instruct chefs of Hyatt
Regency Hotel how to cook Vietnamese dishes.
