The Chi Linh City Fellow Countrymen Association is the second fellow countrymen organization of the province after the Hai Duong Fellow Countrymen Association in Russia.
On November 30, in Moscow, more than 200 overseas Vietnamese who are originally from Chi Linh City gathered and launched the Chi Linh City Compatriots Association in Russia. This is the second compatriots organization of the province after the Hai Duong Compatriots Association which has been operating effectively for a long time. Representatives of the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia attended and congratulated the association.
In the Vietnamese community in Moscow, the number of people from Chi Linh is estimated at about 400, most of whom are overseas Vietnamese who have lived in Russia for more than 30 years, now reaching the second and third generations; in addition, there is a group of students from Chi Linh who come to study at universities in the Russian capital.
The representative of the advisory board, which is the executive board of the Hai Duong Association of Fellow Countrymen, Dang Anh Ba, said that after more than 30 years of working and doing business in Russia, many people from Chi Linh have been very successful, have material conditions, have legal and stable businesses, and have knowledge of the law. They themselves have become the core and "Generous Benefactors" to establish a "small homeland" organization to unite fellow countrymen and neighbors, create conditions for exchange, learning, helping, loving, and supporting each other, and join hands to build and develop a united and strong association of fellow countrymen in Russia.
Mr. Ba also said that, responding to the policy of great national unity of the Committee for Overseas Vietnamese, with the encouragement of the Embassy, as well as the desire to motivate and unite the young generations born and raised in Russia with a common origin, the Liaison Committee of the Chi Linh people held a preparatory meeting on September 28, 2024, unanimously elected businessman Bui Ba Vuong, a prestigious person in the community, as chairman of the association and took November 30 every year as the founding day of the association.
