According to a VNA correspondent in Japan, this is the first time the National Great Unity Day has been organized in the overseas Vietnamese community to strengthen solidarity, gather and promote the strength of the national great unity bloc in the new period; at the same time, implementing the pilot project "National Great Unity Day in the overseas Vietnamese community" of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF).
