Ambassador honoured for contributions to Vietnam-Canada ties

Senator Victor Oh, head of the Canada-Vietnam Friendship Parliamentarians’ Association, voiced his hope that the Ambassador will make greater contributions to further enhancing the two countries’ friendship and co-operation.

Bilateral ties have been nurtured and developed in a variety of fields from trade, development co-operation, to education and culture, not only bringing about benefits to both sides, but also contributing to stability throughout the region and the wider world.

He hailed the people-to-people exchanges as the Vietnamese community in Canada has contributed to further enriching the cultural diversity of the North American country whilst helping Canadians to gain a general understanding of Vietnam in the process.

The senator also shared his positive impression about Vietnamese development through what he witnessed during his visit and attendance at the Ho Chi Minh City Economic Forum in September, which focused on environmental challenges, the circular economy, and the promotion of green energy initiatives.

This represents an important foundation in promoting sustainable economic development and is a testament to Vietnamese commitments to achieve a greener and more sustainable economic future, he said.
