In 2024, the Ambassador hopes that the Vietnamese community in all parts of Sweden would continue to unite, develop, always look towards the homeland of Vietnam, and positively contribute to Vietnam-Sweden relations, especially on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relation establishment between the two countries (1969-2024).

At the event, participants enjoyed music performances performed by the Vietnamese artists based in the European country.
On the occasion, the Vietnamese Embassy in Sweden also presented sets of Vietnamese-language books to Vietnamese children in Malmo and surrounding areas to help replicate the movement of teaching and learning Vietnamese language in the community, contributing to maintaining and promoting the national voice and writing among the young generation of Vietnamese people in the area./.
