Overseas Vietnamese in Netherlands celebrate International Women’s Day
VOV.VN - The Overseas Vietnamese Association and the Vietnamese Women’s Union in the Netherlands recently held a gathering for Vietnamese women residing in their host country to celebrate the 2024 International Women’s Day (March 8).
During the event, participants had the chance to enjoy traditional Vietnamese dishes and watch an Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional long dress) fashion show, and a dance performance with the country's Non La (palm-leaf conical hats).
Furthermore, the organisers awarded prizes for a Vietnamese language contest which attracted a large number of competitors from many countries and helped to preserve and promote the Vietnamese language abroad.
Addressing the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to the Netherlands Ngo Huong Nam encouraged Vietnamese expats to strengthen solidarity and support activities to preserve Vietnamese cultural identity in the Central European country.
The Overseas Vietnamese Association in the Netherlands, established in October 2022, and the Vietnamese Women’s Union in the Netherlands, founded in early 2023, have carried out various community activities to connect Vietnamese expats in the country.
