During the 2011-2017 tenure, the association made active contributions to propelling the two countries’ relations in culture and economy forward, thus strengthening the bilateral traditional friendship.

In the next tenure, the association pledges to spare no efforts to help Romanian people better their understanding of the land and people of Vietnam as well as the Vietnamese Party and State’s internal and external policies, and renovation accomplishments.

It will focus on expanding Vietnam-Romania cooperation in economy, culture, education, science-technology, and environmental protection.

Vice President and General Secretary of the VUFO Don Tuan Phong recognised the association’s significant contributions to promoting peace, solidarity and friendship between the Vietnamese and Romanian people.

He urged the association to continuously consolidate the bilateral partnership and develop its membership, especially youngsters.

Romanian Ambassador to Vietnam Valeriu Arteni expressed his belief that the sixth congress marks a new milestone in the association’s development and actively contributes to the reinforcement and enhancement of the friendship between the two nations.
