In his opening remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador to Belarus Nguyen Van Trung highly praised the diverse, practical, and meaningful activities organised by the the association of Vietnamese people in Belarus in promoting the tradition of community solidarity and organising various activities to honour and preserve the cultural values and traditions of the Vietnamese people.

Among these, the Vietnamese Language Summer Camp, now in its fourth edition, is a valuable initiative that has been held regularly, and has consistently received enthusiastic and widespread support from the Vietnamese community.
