11 Nov. - The ASEAN Committee in Prague (ACP), which consists of the Embassies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam represented in Prague, Czech Republic, in cooperation with Municipality of District 6, participated in the Farmer’s Market in Vitezne square, Dejvice on Saturday, 07 November 2015. 

Mr. Jan Lacina, Deputy Mayor of Prague 6 – where many embassies and consulates are located -- joined the ASEAN Ambassadors and Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. at the Opening Ceremony. 

The colorful and well-decorated booths of the ASEAN Embassies drew the attention of the local Saturday market goers as well as that of members of the diplomatic community.  Each participating country showcased its cuisine and local products.

P-NOY Taste of Asia, a Filipino shop in Prague, sold dried mangoes, canned juices and other dry goods from the Philippines.  A Filipino caterer sold rice cakes or “palitaw” and fried beef spring rolls, which were sold faster than they could be prepared.

The ASEAN Farmers’ Market, which started in 2013, aims to promote the cuisine and food products of ASEAN to the Czech public. END
