Ambassador: Vietnam always remembers French friends’ assistance

Paris (VNA) – Vietnamese Ambassador to France Le Kinh Tai affirmed that Vietnam will never forget the friendship, assistance and immense support given by the French Communist Party and French friends in the past struggle for national independence and the cause of current national construction.

He made the affirmation at a cordial reception held in Paris on Nov. 6 for French friends who have continually given their wholehearted support to Vietnam .

Prominent among the guests at the function were Raymond Aubrac, ex-senator Helene Luc, President of the France-Vietnam Friendship Association Jean-Pierre Brard, and historians Alain Ruscio and Charles Fourniau.

Ambassador Tai said that the ties between the Vietnamese and French nations and communist parties over the past eight decades is a valuable asset that must be preserved.

The diplomat hoped to continue receiving their strong support for Vietnam in its efforts to reduce poverty and eliminate hunger and in the fight for justice for Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange.

Secretary-General of the Association of French War Veterans (ARAC) Claude Delevacq hailed Vietnam , a developing country that has seen many changes, for overcoming numerous difficulties to become an attractive destination to many French tourists.

ARAC has provided Vietnam with assistance for almost 20 years. The association has given regular help to Vietnamese Agent Orange /dioxin victims, particularly children living in the Van Canh Friendship Village.
