Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Tien, summarized the activities of the Association over the past 65 years

Over the past 65 years, the Association has realized President Ho Chi Minh's desire to build new pages in the Vietnam - French relationship, on the basis of the common aspirations for peace, equal cooperation, mutual benefit, and development. In the context of the complex and evolving Covid-19 pandemic, the Association has demonstrated its tradition of solidarity, mutual assistance, and actively mobilizing organizations, individuals who are members of the Association and those outside the Association to contribute face masks, medical protective equipment, anti-droplet masks, etc. to send to friends and people in France. This gesture has been highly appreciated by French friends, further enriching the affection of international friends for Vietnam. In the time to come, the Association will continue to promote the further development of the network of its member organizations in agencies, units with extensive cooperation with France, or groups with many individuals who have studied, researched in France to make the great potential of the beautiful relationship between Vietnam and the French Republic more effective.

Also at the Commemoration Ceremony, French Ambassador to Vietnam, Nicolas Warnery, expressed gratitude from the French people for the active participation of the Vietnamese people as well as the Vietnam - France Friendship and Cooperation Association, especially during the Covid-19 crisis.
