On Sunday, 100 people of Vietnamese descent attended a Lunar New Year program organized by the Vietnamese Embassy and the Vietnamese Association in Chennai, India.

Ambassador Nguyen Thanh Hai said that the overseas Vietnamese community is an integral part, an internal resource of the Vietnamese nation, and an important factor contributing to the friendly cooperation between Vietnam and other countries.

“The Vietnamese Embassy considers working with Vietnamese in India a pillar of its activities. We strive to support people to do business, live, and improve their legal status in India and organize activities to connect expatriates with their homeland and contribute to national development,” said Hai.
