The Vietnamese Embassy in Copenhagen along with nearly 30 embassies from other countries attended the second Diplomatic Bazaar held at Gentofte Town Hall to raise funds to support the Danish Children's Support Fund, held by Ambassadors’ Spouses Group (ASG) in Copenhagen.

Like Vietnam, the stalls of other countries are eye-catchingly decorated, selling and introducing traditional dishes, handicrafts and national products such as wine, ceramics, among others.

This is also the second year the Vietnam's embassy has participated in this humane and meaningful event.
