The Association not only signifies the common viewpoints, the concerns and rights of veterans, but moreover, its establishment acknowledges the sacrifice of them during wartime.

It will also help promote the beautiful traditional virtues of the Vietnamese soldiers and contribute to the progress of home country and enhancement of the Vietnam – Germany ties./.
