The festival, part of a governmental program to promote Korean cuisine around the world, has been organized by the South Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries and the Agro-Fisheries Trade Cooperative, the Embassy of South Korea in Tehran announced in a press release on Monday.
Over 250 Iranian and foreign officials have been invited to the opening ceremony of the festival.
“This festival will provide an opportunity to the Iranian people not only to enjoy Korean culinary artistry but also to gain an understanding of Korean culture, traditions and art, which have been condensed and incorporated into Korean dishes,” South Korean Ambassador Park Jae-hyun said.
The Dasht-e Behesht Complex is located in the Evin neighborhood in northern Tehran.
