The Vietnamese embassy in Japan held an exchange on September 5 to promote Vietnam’s cultural traditions to Japanese friends.

The event introduced Vietnam’s land and people as well as traditional cuisines. Guests also enjoyed traditional dances presented by Vietnamese students and residents in Japan.

The embassy also displayed and sold traditional Vietnamese handicrafts to raise funds for Japanese tsunami victims.

Earlier this year in May, representatives from the Vietnamese embassy attended the Friends for Friends Charity Bazaar in Tokyo, a fundraiser for Japanese tsunami victims.
