Speaking at the event, Belgian Ambassador to Vietnam Paul Jansen said beer is part of the Belgian culture, and the Belgian beer culture has been recognised by the UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

Visitors will have a chance to enjoy a wide variety of Belgian beer and food.
