Mr. Nguyen Duy Anh, member of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Fukuoka, expressed his emotion when witnessing the unprecedented gathering of the Vietnamese community in the Kyushu region. He said: "The festival is not only to meet and have fun, but also to affirm a sacred thing: although living far from home, each Vietnamese person still carries the blood of Lac Hong, still keeps his heart towards his homeland. The flag we have created today is not only a symbol of Vietnam, it is also a symbol of solidarity, pride, and community strength."
