“I am happy to launch the 2014 Canadian Food Festival for Hanoi residents. This is an opportunity to experience the finest Canadian products” remarked Ambassador David Devine. “Canada's vast and varied land, bounded by oceans on three sides and dotted with freshwater lakes, nurtures a diverse range of high-quality food ingredients.
He added “Canadian beef is widely acknowledged as being of premium quality, thanks to grain feeding of barley and corn. The same can be said of our seafood: Canada’s clean and cold water, as well as our dedication to quality and freshness, have made Canadian aquaculture products famous around the world. We hope that events such as the Canadian Food Festival will help Vietnamese consumers understand the extremely high quality of our food ingredients and that as a result they will include our products into Vietnam’s fine dining culture and extraordinary culinary tradition.”
