They took part in friendly volleyball matches, tug of war, and various other sport games, and sampled traditional dishes of every member country, such as Viet Nam’s spring rolls, and Indonesia’s gado-gado.

The ASEAN festival, which is held annually from April to August, provides a good opportunity for the member countries to build relations with each other.

Embassies host one sporting event annually on a rotating basis and this year Viet Nam organized a traditional game of tug-of-war.

There are seven representative offices of ASEAN member countries in Ottawa, namely Viet Nam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines and Brunei. VOV
