The Vietnamese Association in Hungary has convened its third congress for the 2024-2029 term, outlining its activities for the new term, adopting an amended charter and electing a 42-member executive board.

An exchange was held in the Hungarian eastern city of Hajdúszoboszló from 15-17 as a tribute to former Hungarian officials who joined the international mission supervising the implementation of the Paris Agreement on ending the war in Vietnam in the 1973-1975 period.

The State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a ceremony on June 7 to receive 100 million VND (4,350 USD) from Dr Phan Bich Thien, a Vietnamese Hungarian, to support COVID-19 prevention and control activities in Vietnam.

Within just over a week, in response to the call of the Vietnamese Association in Hungary, the Vietnamese community in the European country donated more than 8 million HUF (nearly 24,000 EUR) and many objects to support the local fight against the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
