Responding to the movement “All for Vietnam’s seas and islands” that is spreading across Europe, overseas Vietnamese in France, who had the opportunity to visit the homeland's seas and islands, established the club.
The club is also expected to promote Vietnamese people, nature, marine culture, and specialities, to attract visitors to Vietnam.
Tran Thu Dung, a founder of the club, said that the club will also engage in fundraising to support students, teachers, schools, community houses, and libraries on Truong Sa islands, contributing to socio-economic development and protecting Vietnam's sovereignty over the seas and islands.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Ambassador Dinh Toan Thang highly appreciated the initiative, describing the event as a demonstration of the faith of overseas Vietnamese in France, their homeland and its seas and islands.
The diplomat said he hopes that the club will attract more and more members, organise useful and interesting activities towards the homeland, as well as make more contributions to the country in the coming time.
