Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chairwoman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang appreciated the efforts and responsibilities of non-specialised teachers in teaching the Vietnamese language, thus preserving traditional cultural values of the nation to the overseas Vietnamese community.

Living, studying, and working in different countries and territories, the teachers are enthusiastic about preserving national values, especially the mother tongue, for the younger generations.

Currently, more than 5.3 million overseas Vietnamese are living in over 130 countries and territories around the world. Teaching and learning the Vietnamese language have been an essential need of the overseas Vietnamese community.

The course will run until August 31./.
