Thua Thien Hue boasts nearly 1,300 culinary dishes, ranging from royal delicacies to everyday local food. To preserve these characteristic Hue dishes and promote the local food culture both nationally and internationally, the implementation of 3D digitization is necessary.

That is the main topic of a conference organized by Mitani Sangyo Group and Aureole Group (Japan) in collaboration with the Vietnam - Japan Friendship Association in Thua Thien Hue province on the afternoon of November 13 in Hue City.

On the morning of November 11, in Hue City, the Ministry of Information and Communications in coordination with the Provincial People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue organized the opening ceremony of the program "Cherishing the Special Friendship Festival Vietnam - Laos 2023", on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam - Laos relationship (1962 - 2023) and 46 years since the two countries signed the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation (1977 - 2023).
