It will also coordinate with the Embassy of Vietnam to organize celebrations for the 70th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties next year in a bid to promote Vietnamese culture and enhance friendship between the two peoples, he said.

Vietnamese Ambassador Ho Minh Tuan said next year will see many major events between the two countries. Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babis will visit Vietnam in 2020 while the Vietnam-Czech Inter-Governmental Committee’s meeting is scheduled in Prague.

The embassy has suggested the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism host a Vietnam Culture Week in the Czech Republic next year, he added.

Tuan asked the Vietnamese association to continue holding charity, cultural, music, and cuisine events and further foster communications about Vietnam’s people, culture, and customs.

The Czech Republic in 2014 recognized the 70,000-strong Vietnamese community as an ethnic minority group.
