Speaking at the event, the Vietnamese Consul General in Khon Kaen Chu Duc Dung appreciated the idea of organizing the camp, during which students not only participated in activities to improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills but also exchanged with and helped each other better understand the beauty of Vietnamese culture, history, and people.
Emphasizing that Thailand and Vietnam are major trading partners of each other in ASEAN, the diplomat said that mastering the Vietnamese language and culture is very helpful for Thai students when looking for jobs related to Vietnam.
He believed that organising the camp annually would open a new stage in turning Vietnamese into one of Thailand's foreign language subjects in the coming time, and bring Vietnamese language and culture closer to Thai students.
On the first day of the camp, overseas Vietnamese people in Thailand performed songs praising the homeland and the growing friendship between Vietnam and Thailand and between their people.
