Speaking at the closing ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Dang Minh Khoi recalled late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's sentiments for the Vietnamese community in Russia, asking all Vietnamese people present on the field to take a minute of silence to commemorate the leader who made great contributions to the country and the people of Vietnam.

On the occasion of War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27), Ambassador Khoi asked overseas Vietnamese to show gratitude to the families of war invalids and martyrs, who sacrificed their blood and bones so that Vietnam could have a peaceful and developed life like today.

The Ambassador commended, acknowledged and appreciated the contributions of the Overseas Vietnamese Association in Russia to the Vietnamese community in general, and organized a successful football tournament, a healthy sports playground, helping to increase solidarity in the community.

For his part, Mr. Do Xuan Hoang, Chairman of the Overseas Vietnamese Association in Russia, expressed his gratitude to the Vietnamese Embassy and representative agencies in Russia for actively supporting the overseas Vietnamese Association in Russia to organize the successful tournament.

Mr. Do Xuan Hoang affirmed that after nearly 20 years of organization, up to now, the Vietnamese community in Russia has held a large-scale, high-quality football tournament, attracting the attention of the majority of Vietnamese people living in the host country, demonstrating the solidarity, the spirit of sharing joys and sorrows, and mutual love of the Vietnamese people to overcome all difficulties and continue to move forward.
