Hanoi (VNA) – The first congress of the Association of Vietnamese War Veterans in Ukraine was held in Kiev on May 7, marking its official debut in the country.

Speaking at the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Ukraine Nguyen Minh Tri spoke highly of the establishment of the 200 member association, affirming that Vietnamese war veterans are a core force of the Vietnamese Community in the country.

The association will help enhance links and mutual support among expat veterans living and working in Ukraine, contributing to promoting the traditional relations and multifaceted cooperation between the two countries, he added.
