The event is organised by the Lao Businesswomen’s Association in cooperation with the Lao Women’s Union and supported by many businesses.

The event featured 120 booths from domestic and foreign exhibitors, including food displays and handicrafts, agricultural products, souvenirs and products of various embassies in Laos, aiming to promote local culture, organic food consumption, and Lao women's business.

Attended the opening ceremony were Lao Women’s Union President, Dr Inlavanh Keobounphan, officials, representatives of foreign embassies, and sponsors.

The Lao Food Festival has been held annually since 2006 to promote Lao traditional cuisine and food. However, the event features less exhibiting booths than last year due to prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic and we urge the participants to follow the prevention procedures of the COVID-19 rules.

At this event, the Vietnam Embassy in Laos displayed the country's typical souvenirs and culinary products such as lacquerware, brocade bags, fried rolls, spring rolls, green bean cake, peanut candy, ... Vietnamese cuisine was enjoyed and loved by many guests.

Vietnam's participation in the festival contributes to supporting Laos to promote local culture, organic food consumption, and Lao women's business in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic that has profound impact on aspects of the socio-economic life of Laos.
