They expressed their gratitude to receive the insignias and pledged to further contributions to deepening the ties between their home country and Vietnam.
Speaking at the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Truong Manh Son highlighted the comprehensive partnership between the two countries in recent years, particularly in cultural exchanges.
According to the diplomat, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s insignia aims at acknowledging Czech citizens’ contributions to the bilateral ties and to the success of the “Vietnam culture year” event that ran in the European country between 2015 and 2016.
Vietnam and the Czech Republic are celebrating 67 years of relations establishment (February 1950 – 2017).
