The logo incorporates symbolic elements from each country’s culture: Vietnam’s Lac Bird and Greece’s classical column architecture, along with the red and yellow of the Vietnamese flag and the blue and white of the Greek flag. It symbolizes the harmony and connection between the two nations, despite being located on different continents.
