To date, CLBDSADVN clubs have been established in many European countries such as France, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium, Sweden, Slovakia, and more.
Speaking at the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Romania Do Duc Thanh expressed his delight at the establishment of CLBDSADVN in Romania, considering it an important event in the series of activities commemorating the 75th anniversary of Vietnam-Romania diplomatic relations.
Ambassador Do Duc Thanh hopes that CLBDSADVN in Romania will implement many practical and creative activities to promote Vietnamese culture, preserve national identity, strengthen the Vietnamese community's cohesion in the area, and widely introduce the image of the Vietnamese Ao Dai to the local people, thereby fostering cultural exchange and enhancing solidarity between the two nations.
The Ambassador also affirmed that the Vietnamese Embassy will continue to accompany and support Vietnamese associations in general, and CLBDSADVN in Romania in particular, in implementing activities to preserve and promote the heritage value of the Vietnamese Ao Dai.
In a letter to CLBDSADVN in Romania, Dr. Phan Bich Thien, President of CLBDSADVN in Europe, extended warm congratulations to the Executive Board and all members of CLBDSADVN in Romania.
