Vietnam’s booth stood out at the event's vibrant food fair, introducing traditional dishes such as phở bò (instant noodles with beef), fried spring rolls, lotus stem salad, and iced milk coffee. These authentic Vietnamese flavours attracted many guests and received enthusiastic praise for their taste and presentation.

In addition to culinary highlights, the gathering featured cultural and sports activities such as Southeast Asian folk games and performances, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere. Ambassadors, consuls general, and their families from ASEAN countries engaged in the event with joy and camaraderie, reflecting the spirit of unity within diversity.
