The program was performed by artists from the People's Public Security's Drama Theatre and the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic to mark the 71st anniversary of National Day and welcome the second congress of the Nam Dinh fellow-countrymen association in the country.
Colonel and meritorious artist Nguyen Cong Bay, Director of the People's Public Security's Drama Theatre, said that the artist delegation led by Colonel Bui Tien Manh, Deputy Head of the Department of Political Affairs under the General Political Department of the Ministry of Public Security, came to Czech and Poland to serve overseas Vietnamese on the occasion of the National Day.
During the program, the organizing board raised funds to support the foundation “For beloved Truong Sa” and collected nearly CZK32,000 (about USD1,300).
Mr. Hoang Dinh Thang, Chairman of the Overseas Vietnamese Association in the Czech Republic, appreciated the movement in favour of the homeland’s sea and islands of the Nam Dinh fellow-countrymen association in the Czech Republic and stressed that similar activities have been carried out by member organizations of the Vietnamese community in the country.
He said that in May 2014, the Vietnamese Art and Cultural Association in the Czech Republic organized an art program themed "Towards the homeland’s sea, islands and the national sovereignty" and collected nearly CZK 1.5 million, which has been transferred to the Ly Son Island district administration to build a cultural house./.
