Hanoi hosts Argentine Week to boost ties

There are three main activities taking place during the event, namely the Argentine Beef and Wine Day, Argentine Independence Day, as  well as the Argentine Tango and Gastronomy Festival.

The week began with the celebration of Argentine Beef and Wine Day on May 23 at the restaurant "Los Fuegos - Argentinian Steak and Grill" which is owned by the renowned Argentine Chef Emilio Fusé.

This is an Argentine gastronomy promotion event which has been organised by the Argentine Embassy in Vietnam in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City since 2014.

Visitors were given the opportunity to taste a selection of the highest-quality Argentine cheese, seafood, beef, wine, and dulce de leche (caramelized jam).

Argentine Ambassador to Vietnam Luis Pablo María Beltramino expressed his hope that the event will lead more Vietnamese people to become interested in Argentine products, and that local consumers possess a broad knowledge of culinary products both domestically and internationally.

On May 25, a reception will be held at the Official Residence of the Argentine Republic featuring the participation of various authorities and officials of the Vietnamese Government and the Diplomatic Corps to mark Argentina’s Independence Day.

The closing ceremony of the seventh Argentine Week in Hanoi will be held during the Argentine Tango and Gastronomy Festival on May 28 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the Octogonal House of the Ly Thai To Flower Garden in Hoan Kiem district.
