Canadian Ambassador to Vietnam Deborah Paul said: “This will be my very firstTet celebration in Vietnam and I am very excited. It’s a time when families andfriends come together to celebrate. It’s a celebration that includes everyone,regardless of age, gender, ability, where you come from, your social backgroundor your economic background. So, I think it’s a great celebration of inclusion,and inclusion and respect for diversity are things that Canada promotes as avery proven pathway to peace, prosperity and protection of individual rights”
