The Indonesian Embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam, continuously carries out its task of promoting bilateral relations between Indonesia and Vietnam in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by a number of countries in the world. If earlier before the pandemic, the activities of promoting relations between the two countries were carried out by the Indonesian Embassy in Hanoi supported by institutions or ministries and related parties, this time the Indonesian Embassy is carrying out its task on its own with the assistance of the Indonesian people in Vietnam. It was stated by the Indonesian Ambassador to Vietnam, Ibnu Hadi, when contacted by Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta by telephone on Monday (6/15). Ibnu Hadi said, this was done because at present there have not been any delegates and people visiting Vietnam.

"If in the economy and business, we facilitate, for example there are Indonesian companies who want to export their products or marine products, we try to help them online, of course. And also there are Vietnamese companies who want to export some PPE, medical devices to Indonesia, so we look for partners. So we try many efforts even though it is limited, because there are no delegates coming to Vietnam, no one visit here," said Ibnu Hadi.

In addition to promoting relations in the economic and business fields, the Indonesian Embassy in Hanoi also actively promotes Indonesian cuisine, language and culture in Vietnam. Ambassador Ibnu Hadi said that the Indonesian Embassy in Hanoi often holds Indonesian food cooking courses, Indonesian language courses and introduces Indonesian musical instruments to the people of Vietnam.
