Vietnamese women role, food introduced in Australia
(VOV) - The Consulate General of Vietnam in Perth, Australia, organised a ceremony on March 15 to honor Vietnamese women’s role and introduce the country’s culinary art.
Consul General Le Viet Duyen highlighted Vietnam’s achievements in enhancing women’s role in national construction and development, and expressed hope participants will work together to further develop the comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and Australia.
Former Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Susan Boyd recalled her office term in Vietnam where she saw with her own eyes local women’s significant contributions to national development.
She acknowledged the government’s efforts in increasing women’s role in society and said she was proud to be a female ambassador to Vietnam at that time.
Catherine (Kate) Esther Doust, deputy leader of the Labor Party of Western Australia, echoed Susan Boyd’s view saying she was admired by Vietnamese women’s contributions in recent times.
At the ceremony, participants sampled some of traditional Vietnamese dishes prepared by Southern Star restaurant’s chefs.
They also enjoyed songs in praise of Vietnam composed by David Morgan during his previous stay in the Southeast Asian nation.
