The Vietnamese Embassy and the Vietnamese People Associationin Poland have always paid special attention to preparing for the flights. Theirstaff members directly came to the airport in Warsaw to assist the evacuees tomove and handle boarding procedures. Many Vietnamese also volunteered totransport the evacuees from accommodations in Warsaw to the airport.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Poland Nguyen Hung described the repatriationflights as the clearest demonstration of the Party and State’s attention to overseas Vietnamese, adding that the acts also reflected the sentiment of the Vietnamesecommunity in Europe, including those in Poland, towards the evacuees fromUkraine.
