Each country is endowed with a wealth of culinary resources that can be used to fuel national development," said Indonesian Ambassador Denny Abdi.
Every year, the International Food Festival is organized and maintained. This is an opportunity for countries to exchange cultures, improve mutual understanding, and introduce Vietnam and its people to international friends.
