The event was held by the Association of Vietnamese Communities in Korea (AVCK) with the aim of strengthening solidarity among overseas Vietnamese in their host society.
Participants had an opportunity to taste traditional food such as pork pies and “chung” cake (square glutinous rice cake) as well as enjoy art performances and games.
Nearly 200,000 Vietnamese people are living in the RoK.
The AVCK has organised a number of activities to connect Vietnamese people in the RoK such as a cultural festival and the sports congress, as well as supported flood victims in Vietnam’s central, Central Highland, and southern regions.
The association has also opened Vietnamese classes for children from Vietnamese-Korean multicultural families./.
