Speaking at the event, Ambassador Tran Van Khoa lauded the community’s involvement in activities celebrating 45 years of the Vietnam – Bangladesh diplomatic relations in 2018.
He encouraged the expats to continue supporting each other in overcoming difficulties and contribute to building their home country and fostering the bilateral friendship.
Featuring musical performances and Vietnamese signature dishes, the event helped to connect the Vietnamese expats and left a strong impression on participating Bangladeshi friends.
