Popular destinations in Vietnam, especially those recognised as world’s natural heritage sites, were also introduced at the event such as Hoi An ancient town and My Son sanctuary in central Quang Nam province, Ha Long Bay in northwestern Quang Ninh province, and Phong Nha and Son Doong caves in central Quang Binh province.
According to Vietnamese Ambassador to Slovakia Duong Trong Minh, the event created an excellent opportunity for Vietnam to promote its culture, tourism and cuisine to locals and foreign visitors.
While sharing his impression on Vietnamese dishes, Viktor Borecky, a local in Bratislava, said he knows Vietnamese food through his Vietnamese friends.
He added that like many other Slovakians, he is very fond of Vietnamese food because they are delicious.
Slovakian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs František Rúžička highlighted the long-standing friendship between Vietnam and Slovakia, in an interview granted to Vietnam News Agency.
He said the Vietnamese community in Slovakia has promoted their role in enhancing the traditional friendship and mutual understanding through cultural activities and food exchanges.
The overseas Vietnamese in Slovakia have also contributed to the host’s economic development, he added.
The Asian Weekend was first held in 2018 and received warm response from Asian diplomatic representative offices in Slovakia with the aim of promoting cultural exchanges between countries and local people.
