ASEAN Night
Diplomatic relations between ASEAN countries intensify over dinner -- Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia cordially met at the Thai Ambassador’s Residence last March 20, 2009, here in Athens.
Her Excellency Asha Dvitiyananda, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Thailand, hosted a sumptuous fete in honor of the new Indonesian Ambassador, and the visiting Malaysian Ambassador, His Excellency Datuk Zakariah Sulong.
Thai’s First Secretary Phubadi and Mrs La-Or-Ngern received the guests at the Ambassador’s Residence while the delectable and luscious food was skillfully arranged by Second Secretary Wassana Pramulmuang.
The guests include: (Philippines) HE Rigoberto and Mrs Tiglao, Deputy Chief of Mission Maria Fe Pangilinan, Minister and Consul General Constancio and Mrs Yoko Vingno (Malaysia) HE Datuk Zakariah and Mrs Sulong, Honorary Consul Datuk Prof Thomas Antonius and Mrs Haziroglou, Mr Omad, and Mr (Indonesia) HE The Ambassador, Minister and Outgoing Consul General Hadi Sasmito and the Incoming Minister and Consul General.
Amb Dvitiyananda and Mr Dvitiyananda welcomed everyone to their residence. Her Excellency Dvitiyananda gave a short opening speech about the “ASEAN get together” and about the important role of the ASEAN in furthering the relations and addressing current issues. The Malaysian Ambassador articulately responded to the warm reception and the Indonesian Ambassador also eloquently thanked the host to the impressive dinner gathering (he just arrived the previous day with his wife.)
Shortly after, the dinner was served and started with hot and spicy Tom Yum soup followed by a generous serving of the famous “Pad Thai” with Som Tam (grated green papaya salad). Boiled Octopus, Stir Fried Vegetables, and Tamarind Fish Fillet with Hot Rice was the main course.
The lovely night ended with Thai’s yummy Kao nia ma muang (sticky rice with mango) -- dessert served with hot tea.
