Various folk games and music performances were organised, attracting not only Vietnamese participants but also Hungarian friends. They also had a chance to enjoy numerous traditional Vietnamese dishes, such as “bun cha” (grilled pork with noodle), “goi cuon” (spring rolls), “nem ran” (fried spring rolls) and “che” (a Vietnamese sweet dessert).
The Vietnamese association and Embassy of Vietnam in Hungary took the occasion to honour 95 Vietnamese students for their excellent academic performance in the 2021 – 2022 school year.
