The Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, presented the "Gratitude" award to the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Vietnam in Ukraine, Mr. Nguyen Hong Thach.
During the war, the Vietnamese community has been actively supporting Odesa's social institutions and the Odesa Zoo.
Specifically, through the initiative of the Ambassador and the support of the Vietnamese compatriots, a new aviary for green peacocks has been built at the zoo.
"Many Vietnamese have found their home in Odesa. When the city creates favorable living conditions, it is only logical that the residents take responsibility for its development," emphasized the Ambassador.
During the events, the Vietnamese community showcased its cultural traditions.
The Mayor of Odesa thanked all participants and the Vietnamese people, highlighting the importance of caring for our smaller brothers, especially during wartime.
Furthermore, the Mayor emphasized that the restoration of the Odesa Zoo, which began before the invasion, will certainly continue after our victory.
