Vientiane (VNA) – The Vietnamese Embassy in Laos, in coordination with the Vietnamese People Association in Vientiane, held a ceremony at the Nguyen Du Lao-Vietnamese bilingual school on September 16 to honour the Vietnamese language.

He hailed the Vietnamese community’s efforts in sustaining and promoting Vietnamese language learning through free classes, cultural exchanges, community libraries, and storytelling contests.

Tam thanked the Lao sides, including central agencies, the Ministry of Education and Sports, and the Vientiane administration, for facilitating Vietnamese language initiatives.
