Jointly organized by the Embassy
of the Republic of Korea to Vietnam, Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corporation and
Star Korea Company, the event is part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of
the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Korea (1992
-2012).
Offering local gastronomes the
chance taste traditional dishes from Korea like gimchi (a traditional fermented
Korean dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings), ginsengs,
traditional wine, gimbap (mixed rice)..., the festival features many culinary
exchange activities including exhibitions and sales booths, outdoor activities
with interesting games, drumming, lion dances, Vietnamese and Korean
traditional martial arts demonstrations.
Especially, culinary lovers are
directly instructed by Korean chefs to make typical dishes of Korea and taste
fascinating dishes.
The opening ceremony of the
festival was held at 17h00 June 25, 2012 at Big C Thang Long Supermarket, No
222 Tran Duy Hung Road, Cau Giay District, Hanoi capital. As usual, entrance is
free for all visitors.
Mr Kim Jae Soo, General Director
of Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corporation said: “It is a really good
opportunity for us to understand more about Vietnamese market. We can see a big
potential market for export products from Korea. Therefore, Korean firms have
been invested 2.6 million USD to fresh vegetables projects in Hai Duong and Hoa
Binh provinces”.
Earlier,
on June 1, the Hanoi-based Korea Agro-Fisheries Association has coordinated
with the Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Lam Dong
provincial People’s Committee to organize a seminar for reviewing and analyzing
advantages/disadvantages in agro-fisheries trading between the two nations in
the last several years.
