Among those forming the map of the country were the Vietnamese Ambassador to the Netherlands, Pham Viet Anh, and his wife, along with many embassy staff and family members.

This event was jointly organized by Vietnamese associations – such as the Vietnamese Association in the Netherlands, the Vietnamese Women's Association in the Netherlands, the Vietnamese Intellectuals Association in the Netherlands, and the Vietnamese Students Association in the Netherlands – to celebrate holidays in May as well as commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and Vietnam.

On this occasion, Ambassador Pham Viet Anh expressed his appreciation for the sentiments and efforts of the Vietnamese community in the Netherlands, encouraging them to always remain united, forming a close-knit community that looks towards their homeland.
