Fried spring rolls and “Pho” (noodle served with beef) – two signature dishes of Viet Nam – have been introduced to students majoring in hospitality at a university in Ukraine.
This activity was initiated by the Vietnamese Embassy in Ukraine and designed as part of the training programme of the Hospitality Business Faculty of the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics. This was also the first year the Hospitality Business Faculty organised the activity.
Attending the event were representatives from the Vietnamese Embassy, the Vietnamese Association in Kiev, the Management Board of the university, lecturers and students of the faculty and Vietnamese food specialists in the capital city.
The event was one of the activities held by the embassy to respond to the Viet Nam Culture Year in Ukraine in 2018.
Participating lecturers and students were provided with materials and recipes to make Vietnamese spring rolls and “Pho”.
Vice Rector of the university Valery Say spoke highly of the Vietnamese embassy’s initiative, hoping for more joint activities between the university and the embassy in order to help intensify cooperation in training and culture between the two countries.
