The event attracted the participation of Vietnamese students, staff of representatives of the Vietnamese community in France.
According to UEVF President Nguyen Phan Bao Thuy, proceeds from the fair will be used to buy seawater filters and seedlings for the soldiers and residents, or presented directly to them.
The fair, held on April 6 and 14, is expected to create an opportunity for Vietnamese students and young people in France to contribute to national construction and defence, he added.
Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang said the fair has helped strengthen solidarity among Vietnamese students and young people in the host country.
The Ambassador said this also showed that overseas Vietnamese in France are always enthusiastic and look towards the homeland and the sea and islands of the homeland and affirmed that the embassy always supports the UEVF’s activities./.
