The diplomat highly valued the role of Spanish families adopting Vietnamese children, believing this will be important forces to help promote the multifaceted cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between Vietnam and Spain.
Chairman of the “bridge association with Vietnam” Angel Lopez said his association will continue serving as a bridge to boost the two countries’ relations while increasing knowledge about Vietnamese culture to children as well as opening more classes teaching Vietnamese language.
Over the past 20 years, nearly 2,000 families across Spanish localities have adopted Vietnamese children.
