Geneva (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang joined a meeting with Vietnamese expatriate community and representative agencies in Switzerland on February 26, following his arrival in Geneva to attend a high-level discussion of the 52nd regular session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

At the event, Ambassador Le Thi Tuyet Mai, head of the Vietnamese Delegation to the UN, WTO and other international organisations in Geneva, informed Quang of Vietnamese expats’ significant contributions to the operation of the delegation, assistance for their fellow countrymen at home, and successful integration into the host society.
