A large number of Vietnamese people used to live in the southern provinces, however, political crisis and economic challenges in recent years have forced many of them to move to other places.

The second-generation Vietnamese in Ukraine have managed to succeed in their study or work. Several have earned national awards and scholarships to study in foreign countries while others have become doctors, lawyers and journalists who are playing their part in developing Ukraine and promoting the relations between the two countries.

One of the main focuses during his working term is to help Vietnamese people there overcome COVID-19 and shift to other livelihoods, the ambassador said.

He suggested some new business areas such as e-commerce, catering, tourism and finance, they can shift to for their resilience amid the pandemic.

On behalf of the embassy, Mr. Nguyen Hong Thach presented gifts to the provinces’ funds for community support and gave his commitment to standing side by side with people of Vietnamese origin to tackle difficulties.

On this occasion, the ambassador had a meeting with Governor Sergiy Kozyr of Kherson to discuss how to boost relations between Vietnam and the province, particularly in agriculture./.
