Hanoi (VNA) – The Overseas Vietnamese Association in Macau (China) held a gathering on February 9 to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and welcome the Lunar New Year 2025.
President of the association Duong Trung Duc emphasised the group's role in fostering solidarity and supporting the community, particularly during major national celebrations and traditional holidays.
Duc noted the growing Vietnamese presence in Macau in recent years, which he said is driven by the development of the comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and China, including Macau.
He added that the association will focus on legal support for Vietnamese residents to help them better integrate into the local society and avoid legal issues while also continuing to strengthen its role as a home for the overseas community.
Consul Nguyen Tuan Anh from the Consulate General of Vietnam in Hong Kong and Macau highlighted the gathering’s significance, which marked the Party's 95th anniversary (February 3, 1930–2025), the Lunar New Year, and the 75th anniversary of Vietnam – China diplomatic ties (January 18, 1950–2025).
He praised the community’s charitable work, especially fundraising for victims of natural disasters in Vietnam. He also expressed confidence in the association’s continued contribution to the overseas Vietnamese community in Macau as well as the homeland’s development.
Among the guests to the gathering, Chairman of Caritas Macau Phan Chi Minh admired the community’s solidarity while Luong Quoc Dong, a veteran media professional, stressed the importance of such events in promoting cultural exchange and strengthening Vietnam's ties with Macau and China.
Macau is home to over 9,000 Vietnamese people living and working in the region./.
