A delegation from the Vietnamese embassy in Thailand led by Ambassador Ngo Duc Thang recently visited Thai provinces to present medals, orders of the State President and certificates of merit of the Prime Minister to 500 overseas Vietnamese in Thailand, in recognition of their contributions to national construction and defense.
In his speech at the awards ceremony, Ambassador Thang praised the contributions overseas Vietnamese have made to Vietnam’s struggle for national independence and the Doi Moi (Renewal) process. He called on them to continue their great contributions to national development and to their countries of residence.
This was the second time this year overseas Vietnamese in Thailand were honoured with awards from the State President, the PM and the Foreign Minister.
The Vietnamese community in Thailand also had the great honour to receive the Order of Independence, first class, from the State President in 2007.
