HÀ NỘI  – A tourism photo exhibition and a Vietnamese Cuisine Week were recently held in the Colombian capital of Bogota.

Visitors enjoyed photos and videos on Việt Nam’s tourist destinations as well as traditional dishes, including phở (noodle soup with beef or chicken) and nem cuốn (spring rolls).

The events offered a good chance for Việt Nam to introduce its culture and tourism potential to Colombians, thus promoting mutual understanding among the two peoples, according to Vietnamese Ambassador to Colombia Ngô Tiến Dũng.

On the occasion, culinary specialists from the Hà Nội Tourism College also held experience exchange programmes in the Latin American country. VNS
