Vietnamese Ambassador Duong Hoai Nam expressed confidence that diverse activities under an initiative on organizing Vietnamese Language Day within overseas Vietnamese communities will significantly enhance its education abroad.
The initiative was established by the Vietnamese Prime Minister on August 3, 2022, with September 8 designated as the Vietnamese Language Day for the overseas Vietnamese communities.
At the event, the delegation, along with the Vietnamese Embassy and Vietnamese associations in the Czech Republic, inaugurated a Vietnamese-language book collection. The books, published by the Vietnam Education Publishing House, cater to a range of ages and learning needs within the community.
On this occasion, Hang presented five insignias and gifts to outstanding groups and individuals, including teachers and students, who have excelled in promoting and teaching the Vietnamese language in the European nation.
