The annual event, organized by the UN Delegates Spouses Association and featuring 60 booths, promotes cultural exchange, strengthens mutual understanding among nations, and raises funds for international humanitarian activities.

The Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations and the Vietnamese Spouses Group in New York hosted two booths of Vietnamese handicrafts and cuisine, including ceramics, lacquerware, silk, and brocade.

The "Vietnamese Kitchen" booth serving banh mi, fresh spring rolls, grilled skewers, lemon tea, and iced milk coffee proved to be one of the event's most popular attractions. The ambassadors, UN officials, and international guests who visited the Vietnamese booth sampled a variety of dishes prepared and served by Vietnamese diplomats and their spouses.

Once again this year, Vietnam was among the major contributors to the organizers’ charity fund.
