The pagoda, built from the Vietnam-Hungary fund over the last three years, is expected to become a popular spiritual destination for Vietnamese nationals in Europe.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Vice President and Secretary General of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee, Hau A Lenh, thanked the Hungarian Government and the Simontornya authorities for smoothing the legal procedures for the construction of Dai Bi pagoda.

Expressing his delight over the development of the Vietnamese community in the central European country, Lenh believes that the pagoda will help to connect Vietnamese nationals in Hungary and Europe, contributing to the preservation of traditional cultural values.

On the occasion, he conveyed President of the VFF Central Committee Tran Thanh Man’s greetings to more than 5,000 Vietnamese people in Hungary, urging them to abide by the regulations in the host nation and remember their homeland.

Meanwhile, Mayor of the Hungarian city, Csoszne Kazc Edit, for her part, hailed the contributions made by Phan Bich Thien, President of the Vietnam-Hungary Fund, to the building of Dai Bi Pagoda as well as to the development of Simontornya city.
