[Video] Hung Kings’ death anniversary commemorated

The Vietnamese Embassy in Canada on April 23 hosted a ceremony to commemorate the death anniversary of Hung Kings, the legendary founders of Vietnam, contributing to maintaining the cultural identity and educating the Vietnamese community, especially young people, about the national tradition.

The event saw the in-person participation of more than 100 overseas Vietnamese in the eastern provinces of Canada, and the online attendance of representatives of the Canada-Vietnam Association’s chapters across the country. 

In recent times, the Vietnamese Embassy in Canada has worked as a bridge connecting Vietnamese communities in Canada.

Through the embassy, Vietnamese-Canadian scientists will make more contributions to the homeland’s development, while many exchange and support activities between overseas Vietnamese in Canada and people in the homeland will be held in the coming time. 

The same day, a similar event was organised in Sachsen state’s Leipzig city, with the support of the Vietnamese Embassy and dozens of Vietnamese organisations and associations in Germany.

The organization of the Hung Kings' death anniversary in Germany is an important cultural event, not only contributing to arousing the love of the homeland and the national pride of the Vietnamese people, but also contributing to the cultural diversity in Germany.

The same day, a delegation of nearly 100 overseas Vietnamese from more than 20 countries worldwide offered incense to the Hung Kings in the northern mid-land province of Phu Tho.

The delegation was led by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Pham Quang Hieu, who is also Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs.

The activity has contributed to raising the OVs’ pride of national traditions, while demonstrating the Party’s and the State’s attention to and responsibility for Vietnamese abroad, according to the deputy Foreign Minister.
