The Vietnamese community in Denmark gathered at the Vietnamese Embassy in Copenhagen for a recent meeting with newly appointed Ambassador Nguyễn Lê Thanh, reaffirming their enduring bond with their country of origin. The gathering was covered by VietnamNews.vn
Ambassador Thanh commended the overseas Vietnamese — often referred to as “OVs” — for their role as cultural ambassadors. She praised their efforts to preserve and promote Vietnamese heritage in Denmark while contributing meaningfully to Danish society. According to the ambassador, these contributions have earned recognition and appreciation from both the Danish government and people.
She assured the community of the embassy’s continued support in strengthening connections between overseas Vietnamese and the homeland, as well as fostering the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Denmark.
During the gathering, the ambassador outlined Vietnam’s recent development achievements and major policy directions, including administrative reforms and strategic goals aimed at modernizing the country’s institutions. These include a focus on science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, legal reform, international integration, and private sector development — all part of Vietnam’s development vision for 2045.
Addressing one of the key concerns of the diaspora, Ambassador Thanh reiterated that the Vietnamese government is working to ease procedures for regaining Vietnamese citizenship. She emphasized that the Party and State consider overseas Vietnamese an integral part of the nation and actively encourage their involvement in national development.
The community members in attendance pledged to continue preserving the Vietnamese language and cultural identity among younger generations and expressed support for deepening Vietnam–Denmark relations, which will mark their 55th anniversary in 2026.
