The event, organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs and the HCM City People’s Committee, is themed "Tuoi tre kieu bao tu hao ve dat phuong Nam” (Young expats proud of the southern land).
Speaking at the launching ceremony on July 19, Vice
Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Thu welcomed 110
young participants from 25 countries, saying the annual camp allows young
Vietnamese living from across the globe to return to their homeland and meet
with their peers in Vietnam.
It is also a place for them to learn Vietnamese and learn about the country’s history, tradition, culture and policies, thus maintaining strong ties between the expatriates and their homeland, she noted.
