Vietnamese Ambassador to France Le Kinh Tai said the center is the realization of the visions espoused by former presidents Tran Duc Luong and Jacques Chirac.

The 13th arrondissement of Paris is home to thousands of overseas Vietnamese who have helped to preserve Vietnamese traditions and introduce them to people in France and other countries, Tai said.

Tai also expressed hope the cultural center will bring together Vietnamese expatriates and individuals of different nationalities to develop a peaceful culture of exchange.
