Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to the country Ho Minh Tuan spoke highly of significant contributions by the association to the cultural and art development, which help to connect the Vietnamese people in the country with those in Europe.

Since its establishment in 2009, the association has focused on activities that aim to conserve and develop Vietnam’s traditional culture and art, enhancing links of overseas Vietnamese (OVs) with their homeland and raising the position of the Vietnamese community in the European nation.

It has organized a series of programs to bolster the connection of OVs in Europe.

In the coming time, the association will bolster links and join hands with organizations of Vietnamese people in the Czech Republic to conserve intangible cultural heritage, including quan ho (love duet singing), xoan singing, cheo (traditional opera) and ca tru (ceremonial singing in the north)./.
