Eric Normand Thibeault, Director for Asia-Pacific of the International Francophone Organisation (IFO), lauded Vietnam’s commitments with the Francophone community as well as its participation in UN peace-keeping missions, especially in some French-speaking countries.
He affirmed that the IFO is willing to support Vietnam in the field.
Also at the ceremony, the Group of Francophone Ambassadors presented awards to Nguyen Thi Cuc Phuong, Vice Rector of the Hanoi University, and Tran Thi Lan Anh, a lecturer from the Hanoi University of Home Affairs, for their contributions to promoting the French language in Vietnam.
