The event, organized by the United Nations Spouses Club, aims to promote cultural exchange, enhance understanding among nations, and raise funds for international humanitarian activities.

Continuing the tradition of past years, the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations, along with the Vietnamese Spouses Club in New York, participated in the Bazaar with two booths showcasing Vietnamese handicrafts and cuisine.

Handicraft products rich in national cultural identity, such as ceramics, lacquerware, silk, brocade, and traditional crafts, attracted significant attention from visitors, with many items selling out early.

Notably, the "Vietnamese Kitchen" booth remained one of the most popular destinations at the Bazaar. Familiar dishes and drinks like Vietnamese baguettes, spring rolls, grilled skewers, lemon tea, and iced milk coffee left a deep impression on international friends.

Many visitors highly appreciated the harmony between distinctive flavors, sophisticated preparation, and the unique cultural aspects of Vietnamese cuisine.

The Vietnamese booths were honored to welcome many ambassadors, UN officials, and international friends to visit, interact, and enjoy the unique products, especially the dishes prepared and served by the officials and their spouses.

At the end of the Bazaar, Vietnam continued to be among the countries with high revenue contributions to the organizer's Charity Fund. The success of the Vietnamese booths not only helped promote the image of Vietnam's land, culture, and people to the international community but also demonstrated Vietnam's spirit of responsibility, solidarity, and active contribution to the United Nations' common activities.

The UN International Bazaar is an annual event organized by the United Nations Spouses Club, bringing together member countries to showcase their culture, cuisine, and traditional products, while also raising funds to support the United Nations' humanitarian and development programs.
