The annual event held by the Association of Spouses of Foreign Diplomats in the Czech Republic aims to strengthen friendship and mutual understanding between countries. Vietnam’s pavilion showcased silk, jewelry items, and handicraft accessories. Nevila Kula, the wife of the Albanian Ambassador and Chairwoman of the Association for 2019, praised Vietnam as a “good supporter” of the fair and called for donations to help people in need.  All proceeds form the fair will be used for humanitarian activities in the Czech Republic. Last year, organizers raised nearly 100,000 USD.
