Former Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang has been bestowed the French State’s National Order of the Legion of Honour, Class Commandeur, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to diplomatic ties between Viet Nam and France.

The recent elevation of France’s prestigious Legion of Honour for Professors Tran Thanh Van and Le Kim Ngoc is not only a well-deserved recognition of their tireless dedication to science and younger generations, but also a point of pride for the overseas Vietnamese and the homeland of Viet Nam.
