The event attracted the participation of Vietnamese Ambassador to Germany Doan Xuan Hung and representatives of Vietnamese businesses, Vietnamese people’s association and the association of Vietnamese students in Germany (SIVIDUC).
Hung highly evaluated the establishment of the club, whose activities have helped enhance overseas Vietnamese’ patriotism and popularise information about the country’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos among the local Vietnamese community and German people.
He also asked the club to attract more participation of and contribution by expatriates and businesses to support soldiers and residents in Truong Sa islands.
It should also coordinate with other associations to organise more activities to spread patriotism among the Vietnamese community and give Germans a better understanding of Truong Sa and Hoang Sa, he said.
At the event, SIVIDUC representatives suggested ideas to deal with issues related to water, information and education facing soldiers and residents in Truong Sa.
The Sea and Island Club in Germany was founded in May basing on an initiative of expatriates who had visited Truong Sa since 2014.
