The New Zealand Embassy in Vietnam said that on August 29, within the framework of an official visit to Vietnam from August 27-31, New Zealand National Assembly Chairman Gerry Brownlee visited KOTO Restaurant, a non-profit social enterprise famous for its vocational training program for disadvantaged youth in Vietnam.
Here, National Assembly Chairman Gerry Brownlee successfully overcame his first challenge during his visit to Vietnam - making beef rolling with betel leaves.
What makes this dish special is the delicious combination of New Zealand beef with typical Vietnamese ingredients such as fish sauce, tamarind and herbs.
Previously, on the morning of August 29, New Zealand National Assembly Chairman Gerry Brownlee and his delegation had a meeting with 9 outstanding former New Zealand international students in a meaningful conversation about Vietnam. The topics of discussion revolved around the business environment, sustainable development, climate change and bilateral educational cooperation.
President Brownlee emphasized the important role of the former international student community in promoting the New Zealand - Vietnam relationship and hoped that they will continue to contribute to the increasingly close relationship between the two countries.
