Berlin (VNA) – The Truong Sa Club in Germany held a gathering in Berlin on April 6 to celebrate eight years of its continuous activities in support of Vietnam’s maritime sovereignty.

The event brought together club members, representatives of Vietnamese associations in Germany, and officials from the Vietnamese Embassy, including Ambassador Vu Quang Minh and other diplomats.

President of the Truong Sa Club Bui Thu Minh highlighted the group’s founding mission of "Connecting – Spreading – Accompanying Truong Sa". Since its establishment in April 2017, the club has worked to strengthen ties between overseas Vietnamese and the homeland, especially with those safeguarding Vietnam’s sovereignty over its sea and islands.

Over the past eight years, the club has organised various initiatives to support soldiers and residents in Truong Sa, including annual donations worth around 200 million VND (nearly 8,000 USD). It has also co-hosted seminars, art exhibitions, and writing and drawing contests on the theme of the sea and islands, while incorporating island-related contents into Vietnamese language classes in Berlin. These efforts aim to foster patriotism and a sense of national pride, particularly among younger generations.

Among the attendees was Tong Dang Van, one of four overseas Vietnamese in Germany in the delegation set to visit Truong Sa in the coming time. He expressed pride in joining the trip, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975-2025), and noted that the delegation would deliver 300 million VND (11,500 USD) in donations raised by the overseas Vietnamese community in Germany.

Speaking at the event, Ambassador Vu Quang Minh praised the club’s contributions over the past years, noting their significant material and spiritual support for those stationed in Truong Sa. He also acknowledged the club’s efforts to strengthen national pride and solidarity within the Vietnamese community abroad and its assistance to those in need in Germany. He encouraged the club to continue its meaningful activities in the years ahead.

Participants also shared personal stories and memories from past visits to Truong Sa, reaffirming their commitments to the club’s mission of connection, spread and solidarity with Truong Sa./.
