The Vietnamese
Embassy in
the US on January 10 hosted a New Year programme with the participation of about
250 Vietnamese and international friends.
In his remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador Ha Kim Ngoc lauded contributions of the
Vietnamese community in the US to the host country, as well as to their
homeland’s development and national sovereignty protection, and the Vietnam-US
comprehensive partnership.
He took the occasion to thank international friends for their support and
sentiments towards Vietnam’s national construction and defence, and relations
between Vietnam and the US and international organizations.
Guests to the event were treated to special art performances, along with
traditional dishes from different regions of Vietnam.
A similar event was held by the Vietnamese Consulate General in Australia’s New
South Wales, Queensland and South Australia on January 11.
Addressing overseas
Vietnamese and
foreign friends, Vietnamese Consul General Trinh Duc Hai highlighted the
development of the Vietnam-Australia strategic partnership in 2019, saying the
two countries have become trustworthy partners and have shared long-term and
strategic interests.
He said in early 2020 when many Australian areas have been ravaged by wildfires,
overseas Vietnamese in the country have promptly raised funds to support
affected residents.
Meanwhile, the association of Vietnamese-Thai people in Bangkok coordinated with
the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand to organize a get-together on January 11 to
celebrate the Tet festival.
