"In times of globalization, the world has shrunk, transforming itself into a village where nations have become families living for one another and dependent on each other. And, according to the cultural tradition of Vietnam, families, in relationships among them, are like a village. By this metaphor I want to emphasize that the Vatican and Vietnam seem to have the will to build relations of this type."
