Ambassador Le Viet Duyen gave a speech at the opening ceremony and expressed his wish to connect the culture and people of the two countries and strengthen the bond, friendship, and traditional relations between Vietnam and Venezuela. That is the reason that the Embassy of Vietnam in Venezuela has cooperated with the store Heladería 1000 sabores to introduce "Hanoi Ice Cream" to the people of Venezuela.

The Ambassador shared that this flavor of ice cream is made from green beans - a typical ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine, along with the love and passion for Vietnamese cuisine and the skilled hands of Ice cream artisans at the shop.

After that, Ambassador Le Viet Duyen presented the certificate to the owner of the Isbellis Da Silva ice cream shop.

Ms. Silva also shared that "Hanoi ice cream" has a delicious flavor of green beans and coconut milk, it especially evokes the customers to think of the capital of Vietnam.

The creation of Hanoi Ice Cream also gave her the idea to make the next ice cream dishes with the names of the capitals of countries around the world. Ms. Isbellis Da Silva hopes to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce of Venezuela - Vietnam (CAVENVIET) to open restaurants to promote Vietnamese cuisine, as well as Hanoi ice cream in Caracas and states throughout the territory of Venezuela in the near future.

This shop has already set two Guinness records for the number of ice cream flavors in the world in 1991 and 1996. The fact that ice cream with the typical Vietnamese flavor of green beans appeared at this famous Venezuelan ice cream shop, not only introduces and promotes Vietnamese cuisine to local people and international guests but also brings the image of Vietnam closer to the daily lives of Venezuelans.
