VOV.VN - Celebration for the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival has been organised in Egypt to help the Vietnamese community enjoy a warm and familiar traditional festival.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt holds a get-together on January 22 to celebrate Tet among embassy staff and Vietnamese families residing in the North African country.
Ambassador Tran Thanh Cong (centre in the front line) joins with his wife to pose for a group photo alongside Overseas Vietnamese community representatives in Egypt.
Women in Ao Dai, which are traditional long dresses that local people often wear during special occasions, take photos to keep as memories for Tet.
Children eagerly join in wrapping Chung cake (square glutinous cake) and learn more about Vietnamese traditions during Tet.
Wrapping Chung cake (square glutinous cake) is a traditional activity that the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt has maintained over the course of many years.
Pots of Chung cake bring a warm atmosphere to members of the overseas Vietnamese community in Egypt and help them relieve any homesickness.
