New York (VNA) – The Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations (UN) and the Association of Vietnamese Spouses in the US joined the annual UN International Bazaar in New York on June 4 with two booths showcasing exquisite handicrafts and authentic cuisine.
The handicraft booth drew crowds with its display of ceramics, lacquerware, brocade, and silk, offering a vivid glimpse into Vietnam’s rich artistic traditions. Chu Dau pottery and Van Phuc silk scarves were particular highlights, with their intricate designs earning admiration from visitors.
Over at the food booth, fresh shrimp and veggie spring rolls, grilled meat skewers, banh mi, iced coffee, and lemon iced tea had guests of all ages lining up. The spouses of Vietnam’s diplomatic staff worked their magic, dishing out authentic eats with vibrant presentation.
The bazaar, which featured nearly 60 booths from UN member states, drew hundreds of foreign guests, including ambassadors and diplomats from various missions and agencies. Vietnam’s booths were among the most successful, raking in serious cash for the event’s charity fund./.
