Recognition of the Vietnamese Community's Contribution in Odesa
The Mayor of Odesa, Hennadii Trukhanov, awarded the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Vietnam to Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, Mr. Nguyen Hong Thach.
During the ongoing war, the Vietnamese diaspora continues to assist social institutions in Odesa and support the local zoo.
Specifically, at the initiative of the Ambassador and with the support of the Vietnamese compatriots, a new aviary for green peacocks was constructed in the zoo.
"Many Vietnamese have found a home and prosperity in Odesa. When the city creates favorable conditions for its residents, it is only logical that they take responsibility for its development," the Ambassador stated.
During the event, the Vietnamese community showcased their national traditions and culture.
The Mayor expressed gratitude to all participants and the Vietnamese people, emphasizing the importance of caring for our smaller brothers, especially during wartime.
He also noted that the restoration of the Odesa zoo, which began before the invasion, will certainly continue after our Victory.
