Vietnam wins election as vice chair of UNESCO committee for cultural diversity protection

Ambassador Le Thi Hong Van, head of the Permanent Delegation of Vietnam to UNESCO, stressed that taking on the post for the second time continues to demonstrate the country’s increasing position and prestige within the international arena. In addition, it clearly shows the international community’s support for and trust in the nation’s contribution and management capacity as part of global multilateral institutions.

The election also recognizes the active Vietnamese contributions to UNESCO and its efforts to promote the role of culture and creativity as part of sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development, she noted.

The 16th session ran from February 7 to February 10 in Paris, France, and brought together nearly 400 delegates and observers from all member nations and nearly 100 other countries, international, and cultural organizations.

During the course of the event, member countries applauded Vietnamese policies and practical measures aimed at optimising the role of culture as an endogenous strength and a driving force for sustainable development. This is along with protecting and promoting the diversity of cultural expressions in the context of culture and creativity being heavily impacted by the pandemic, globalization, and digitization.

They also welcomed the country’s efforts to develop a national cultural index for sustainable development and its creative cities network.

In its new position, the nation will have favourable conditions to further contribute to the implementation of the 2005 Convention’s goals and priorities, as well as taking advantage of its knowledge, experience, and external resources for its cultural and sustainable development in the new period, Van said. 

The 2005 Convention was adopted on October 20, 2005, and has so far been ratified by 152 countries. Vietnam was first elected as vice chair of the committee during the 2011 to 2015 tenure.

Red Vermicelli: Dak Lak’s Delicious Delicacy

Image
Buon Ma Thuot not only has premium coffee with a unique delicious taste, but also many other famous delicacies such as wine, marinated chicken, fragrant rice tubes, and especially the excellent red vermicelli. Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious. At first glance, red vermicelli is quite similar to crab vermicelli, but this dish is made from pure crab meat, pureed pork and fat, vegetables, bean sprouts, and of course, boiled quail eggs.
