Speaking at the meeting, the Ambassador warmly congratulated the 15 new Mozambican students who have excellently received scholarships from the Vietnamese Government.

Sharing about Vietnam, the Ambassador introduced the unique aspects of Vietnam's history, culture, hospitality, and the friendship extended to Mozambique, as well as the significant economic and technological advancements in Vietnam today. The Ambassador expressed hope that Vietnam will gradually become a second home for the students during their years of study, growth, and exploration of new experiences.

The Ambassador encouraged students to actively integrate, openly embrace cultural differences, observe, listen, and continuously learn from daily life and those around them, alongside acquiring knowledge in the classroom. The Ambassador advised students not to hesitate to seek help from the school, friends, and the Embassy if they encounter difficulties living far from home.
To ensure a complete learning journey, the Ambassador hopes the new students will study diligently, continuously enhance their knowledge, professional skills, especially Vietnamese, comply with Vietnamese laws and school regulations, and always support each other. The Ambassador expects the students to quickly adapt to the new environment, understand and love Vietnam and its people, and introduce their Vietnamese friends to the cultural, historical, and human values of Mozambique, thereby becoming a bridge connecting the two countries and peoples.
Ms. Carla Caomba, Director of the Mozambique Scholarship Institute, expressed her gratitude for the attention, support, and assistance from the Ambassador and the Embassy throughout the selection and admission process for the students. According to the Director, in the context of the Mozambican Government's push to train high-quality human resources, the educational cooperation program with Vietnam holds special and practical significance, directly supporting Mozambique in training a young generation in fields urgently needed, such as industry, agriculture, information technology, and healthcare.
The Director hopes each student will recognize this honor, strive to study well, and maintain strict discipline to absorb the essence of Vietnamese knowledge and technology. She expects that after completing their studies, the students will return home with solid preparation, contributing to Mozambique's development and becoming the next generation to uphold the strong friendship between the two nations.
