The events were organised in major localities such as Prague, Ostrava and Brno, and those in the border regions.

At a programme held in Chomotov City of the northern province of Ustecky, member of the Czech Senate Premysl Rabas spoke highly of the role and practical contributions of the Vietnamese community in the local socio-economic development as well as in the friendship between the countries.

Cultural activities of the community have helped people in the European country to better understand Vietnamese culture, he added.
