The two fields are important in the action plan to carry out the comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and Brunei during the 2023-2027 period, which was adopted during the official visit to Brunei by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in February 2023, he stressed.
The Vietnamese diplomat said he hopes to continue receiving close coordination from competent agencies of Brunei and partners to enhance friendship exchanges between the two nations in the time ahead.
Introducing Vietnam’s cultural and culinary tourism potential, Vu expressed his belief that more tourists from Brunei and Borneo island and other nations will visit Vietnam in the coming time, adding the Vietnamese Government’s issuance of e-visa for all foreigners from August 15 and Royal Brunei Airlines' resumption of direct flights between Brunei and Ho Chi Minh City will facilitate their travel.
Together with stellar art performances on the stage, a special menu of Vietnamese foods will be delivered to Bruneian visitors by Radisson hotel, including Pho, spring rolls, summer rolls and crispy pancakes.
Besides, visitors to the event have an opportunity to get access to a culinary-tourism promotional programme, including air tickets and accommodation at Radisson Blu Resort Phu Quoc./.
