He expressed his belief that the representativeswill contribute to the development of a strong Vietnamese community in Germany.

Talking to the Vietnam News Agency, Chairman Hien said thatwith nearly 200,000 people and about 10,000 businesses operating in varioussectors, Vietnamese form a large and strong Asian community in Germany and hasreceived high evaluation during their integration into the local society.

The federation willrepresent the community’s common voice at the federal level to coordinate andsupport activities of those organisations and associations.

The federation will serve, protect, and representthe rights and legitimate interests of Vietnamese people.
