Miss Grand International 2021 Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien completed the construction of a clean water well for the villagers in Zamba, Bailundo, Huambo, Angola. Thanks to the support of her Vietnamese friends living in Angola, Thuy Tien fulfilled her duty and received the gratitude and support of the villagers.
She said: "It was a trip with many thoughts and plans that lasted for many months. I didn't even think that I would prepare everything in time to set foot in this land as planned. When I was standing in front of the clean water wells in Zamba, my feeling was really hard to describe. Above all, it was joy because more than 300 households here would have clean water to use in the near future."

Zamba is a poor agricultural area due to the lack of water to serve the people's needs and crops. Most people do not have electricity, clean water, and suffer limited living conditions. For generations, people here have faced severe drought. They do not have enough water, even for drinking. Children lack the conditions to develop.
Thuy Tien hopes during this trip, she will help people, especially children in Angola to improve their living conditions. As Miss Grand International 2021, Thuy Tien has set foot in many countries to help many people, which, according to the beauty, is the mission she is proud to take on.

At the end of April 2024, many canals in Tran Van Thoi, U Minh, and Thoi Binh districts of Ca Mau province dried up, many drilled wells were dried, crops withered, and people lacked food and fresh water for eating and drinking.

On November 13 in Hanoi, the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO) held a ceremony to present its report to President Ho Chi Minh in commemoration of its 75th Traditional Day (November 17, 1950 - November 17, 2025) and the Patriotic Emulation Congress for the 2025-2030 period. The solemn program was attended by VUFO leaders, officials, and staff.
In 1950, the resistance war against French colonialism entered a new phase, as the Vietnamese revolution established official relations with revolutionary forces around the world, including the Soviet Union, China, and others. The Viet Nam Committee for the Protection of World Peace was founded in the Viet Bac resistance base as the first people-to-people diplomacy organization, serving as the predecessor of today’s Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO).
On November 12 in Hanoi, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF, Germany) held a farewell reception, marking the conclusion of its operations in Vietnam. The event served as an opportunity to acknowledge and express gratitude for the organization’s contributions to promoting Vietnam–Germany mutual understanding and development cooperation in Vietnam.
In the context of Viet Nam actively implementing its policy of economic diplomacy to serve national development, the activities of the Viet Nam-Singapore Friendship Association (VSFA) have undergone significant and appropriate shifts, harmoniously combining people-to-people diplomacy with economic diplomacy. The Association’s initiatives and action programs are always oriented toward individuals and communities, closely aligned with, and practically supporting Viet Nam’s socio-economic development programs.
On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Viet Nam and Cuba (December 2, 1960 - December 2, 2025), Cuban Ambassador to Viet Nam Rogelio Polanco Fuentes shared with VietnamTimes magazine his reflections on the special friendship between the two countries.
After nearly three decades of establishment and development, the Da Nang Union of Friendship Organizations (DAFO) has affirmed its position as a model example in Vietnam’s people-to-people diplomacy - a comprehensive, effective, and sustainable operational model that creatively connects with international friends and contributes positively to the city’s integration process along the Han River.
During 2024-2025, the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations (VUFO) has taken the lead and cooperated with partners to organize numerous friendship exchanges and meetings in conjunction with visits and working trips by Party and State leaders to various countries, contributing to strengthening friendship between the people of Viet Nam and international friends.
Through people-to-people diplomacy, messages of reconciliation have been conveyed and acknowledged by the leaders of both countries. It was the efforts of people-to-people diplomacy, with the Viet Nam-USA Society at its core, through various channels connecting American organizations and individuals who supported normalization and the establishment of relations with Viet Nam, that served as a driving force leading to the normalization of relations and the establishment of diplomatic ties between Viet Nam and the United States on July 12, 1995.
