On display are handicraft products including lacquer paintings, palm-leaf conical hats, traditional long dresses worn by Vietnamese women, and films about Vietnam and its people. 

Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrand said the annual event highlights people’s socio-cultural lives, adding that it also promotes sustainable development during global integration. 

The Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico is scheduled to hold an exhibition of photographs, books, newspapers and films about Vietnam and its people, culture and the achievements the country has made in its Doi Moi (Renewal) process. 

This year’s event is expected to draw over 1.5 million visitors and generate nearly US$65 million in revenue, a large increase on last year’s figure.
