Berlin (VNA) – A recent musical exchange in Germany has brought together Vietnamese women representatives from eight European countries to celebrate the International Women's Day (March 8).
In her opening speech at the exchange held by the Vietnamese Women's Union (VWU) in Germany on March 9 evening, Chairwoman Trinh Thi Mui expressed the group's desire to expand connections among overseas Vietnamese sisters and call on them to stay united to develop together, preserve the national identity, and honour the Vietnamese women.
