Attending the program were Director General of the Service Department for Diplomatic Corps (SDDC) Ngo Phuong Nghi, Deputy Director General Doan Minh Anh, along with representatives from units under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, external relations agencies, partner agencies, and sponsors for the International Culinary Culture Festival 2025.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Doan Anh Minh emphasized that the Service Department for Diplomatic Corps is authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to organize the International Culinary Culture Festival 2025, marking the 13th year of the event.
The tradition of organizing the Culinary Culture Festival not only aims to develop culture but also serves as an opportunity to affirm and enhance Vietnam's position through international cooperation. This event has become an important diplomatic channel, contributing to spreading Vietnamese cultural and culinary values to the world.
On this occasion, Mr. Doan Anh Minh expressed gratitude to all units that have supported, cooperated, and accompanied the Service Department for Diplomatic Corps in 2025. Thanks to the close coordination of partners, this year's festival is organized on a larger and more professional scale, clearly reflected in the booths. Feedback from visitors indicates that the booths are meticulously invested, systematically arranged, and leave a good impression of professionalism.

Mr. Đoàn Anh Minh affirmed that the festival is not only an occasion to honor culinary and cultural values but also an opportunity to demonstrate philanthropic spirit. With the theme "Joining Hands to Support People Overcoming Storms and Floods", all activities of the festival, from booths to charity programs, aim to share and support the community, especially the people in the central provinces severely affected by storms and floods.
Every support from individuals and groups here contributes directly to charitable activities, igniting the spirit of "solidarity" and "mutual support", and promoting the strength of national unity.
As one of the annual events aimed at promoting cultural and culinary exchanges between Vietnam and international friends, the festival attracts increasing participation from embassies, foreign cultural centers, foreign affairs departments representing provinces and cities, businesses, and units under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The event helps strengthen cooperative relationships, mutual understanding, and promotes cultural diplomacy, connecting relationships between foreign diplomatic missions and the local external relations system through cultural and culinary exchange activities.
