The land, people and culture of Vietnam were introduced at the 20th National Multicultural Festival which took place in Australia’s capital city of Canberra from February 12-14.

With various cultural publications, souvenirs and traditional dishes like “nem ran” (fried spring roll), “pho bo” (beef noodle soup) and Vietnamese-style sandwiches, the Vietnamese booth attracted a large crowd of visitors.
This is the second time the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia has participated in the festival.
