Vuong Huu Nhan, Chairman of the Association of Vietnamese in France, said: “Now it's our second generation's turn to pass on that tradition to the younger generation. For us, the 50th anniversary of the Paris Agreement is very important because it is a way to pass on values to the next generation. This commemorative activity also helps those not present here and French friends better understand this important historical period of the Vietnamese community in France.”
