In a letter sent to the event, the Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia, Dang Minh Khoi, wrote that to honor and promote the value of the Vietnamese language and create opportunities for the overseas Vietnamese community to preserve and develop their mother tongue, the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs has chosen September 8 every year as the Day for Honouring Vietnamese Language in Vietnamese Communities Abroad, with many cultural, artistic and exchange activities, exciting experiences for young people at home and abroad.
Khoi also expressed his belief that the event will instil positive emotions, spark interest, and encourage exploration of the Vietnamese language and culture among children born and raised outside their homeland who do not have opportunities to use their mother tongue.
He added that this would help them feel proud of their roots and lay a solid foundation for friendly and lasting relations between Vietnam and Russia.
