The association gathers Ukrainians who are most dedicated to fostering the relationship between the two nations, said Vietnamese Ambassador to Ukraine Nguyen Hong Thach, reported VNA.
He asked the association to help introduce the image of Vietnamese landscapes and people, develop Vietnam-Ukraine economic and trade ties, and create favourable conditions for Vietnamese expatriates in Ukraine, particularly the business community, in overcoming COVID-19-related difficulties.
The diplomat suggested the leaders look for activities to diverse the association’s operation in propelling the traditional friendship and win-win cooperation in all aspects between Vietnam and Ukraine.
VNA also quoted that UVFA President Oleksandr Vitaliyovich Shlapak thanked the ambassador for meeting leaders of the association right after his tenure began.
Appreciating the embassy’s engagement in the UVFA’s activities, he vowed to further collaborate with the embassy and the ambassador in organising practical events to consolidate the Vietnam – Ukraine comprehensive partnership and cooperation.
He proposed the embassy, in coordination with relevant agencies of Vietnam, consider conferring a friendship order upon the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture on the occasion of its 90th founding anniversary in  honour of the establishment’s significant contributions to the bilateral relations since the 1960s./.
