ASEAN Day 2007

ASEAN

The ASEAN Community in Pretoria organised a function at the Indonesian Residence on 8 Aug 07 to mark the 40 Anniversary of ASEAN. Our office contributed with some Chicken curry and samosas, while other embassies brought their own local delights.... it was generally quite a fun afternoon with people from the other embassies attending the function.... there was also a cultural show put up by the Indonesians, Filipinos, Malaysians and Thais. Quite fun!
