Speaking at the event held on October 16, Phan Thi Binh, Head of the organizing board, said the association was among one of the earliest groups established in Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990. Its main purpose and motto is to help Vietnamese solve difficulties they face in daily life, such as offering consultations on employment and housing.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thinh, Head of the Association, said that so far overseas Vietnamese have been recognized as one of the most successful immigrant communities in Germany.

According to him, members of the association have worked to build relationships and connections to help Vietnamese workers integrate into the German society, promote the learning of the German language, introduce employment opportunities, and preserve Vietnamese culture and language.

Chu Tuan Duc, Minister-Counsellor and Deputy Head of Mission at the Vietnamese Embassy, lauded the association’s development so far and highlighted its contributions to the host nation’s COVID-19 response and to charity activities back in their homeland.

There are about 1,000 overseas Vietnamese living in Magdeburg city./.
