A key highlight of the workshop was the launch of "Vietnamese Recipes and Stories from Ethnic Families," a remarkable cookbook showcasing the culinary heritage of Vietnam's ethnic minorities. This publication, produced by IFAD, serves as a valuable resource for preserving traditions, promoting cultural understanding, and raising awareness about the significance of sustainable food systems.

"The spouses of heads of mission play a vital role in fostering cultural exchange," stated Willem Aumann, spouse of IFAD's Country Director in Vietnam. "We are honored to collaborate with SHOM and launch this exceptional cookbook, which makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of Vietnam's diverse culinary landscape."
