At the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Norway Le Thi Tuyet Mai said that Nation Assembly Deputy Chairman Phung Quoc Hien and the NA’s high-level delegation during the working visit to Norway had appreciated charitable activities as well as other activities towards the homeland of the association and the overseas Vietnamese people in general.

She also transferred the contribution of the NA Deputy Chairman and the members of the delegation to the organizing board of the event.

On this occasion, the Ambassador thanked the overseas Vietnamese community in Norway for looking towards the homeland and promoting their role as a bridge in strengthening the friendship and cooperative relations between Vietnam and Norway.

She said that the charitable activities of the association are very significant, contributing to improving living and studying conditions for children with disabilities and in difficult circumstances in Vietnam.

At the event, the participants also enjoyed an art exchange program and traditional dishes prepared by overseas Vietnamese women.

The event collected about NOK 50,000 (about USD 6,200), which will be transferred to suitable addresses to support children with disabilities and in difficult circumstances in Vietnam./.
