Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations Phan Anh Son highly appreciated the efforts of the Vietnam - Myanmar Friendship Association in maintaining and promoting the role of people-to-people diplomacy in the context of many difficulties. According to him, the Association has closely followed the orientation of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations, effectively implemented exchange activities, and connected businesses, contributing to promoting practical cooperation between the two countries.
In particular, immediately after the earthquake that caused serious damage in Myanmar in March 2025, the Association quickly mobilized and donated more than 400 million VND from organizations and individuals to support the people of the neighboring country. "This is a timely action, demonstrating the sense of responsibility, sincere friendship and effectiveness of the Association on the people's foreign affairs channel," Mr. Son emphasized.
