Nicolas Warnery, the French Ambassador to Vietnam, showcased his support for Vietnam’s national rowing team by visiting them in their training base in Thuy Nguyen District last Saturday afternoon. This gesture of encouragement comes as two of Vietnam’s finest athletes, canoeist Nguyen Thi Huong and rower Pham Thi Hue, have qualified for the upcoming Olympic Games.
During his visit, Ambassador Warnery extended his congratulations to the team and wished them success in their future endeavors. He also participated in a friendly boat race, rowing alongside Vietnamese rowers. The ambassador’s visit holds significance as it highlights the growing sporting prowess of Vietnam on an international scale.
