Of them, about 1,900 will be working in Ha Noi while the rest are assigned to 11 other host localities.

Nguyen Hai Duong, vice head of a sub-committee in charge of the ceremonies at the SEA Games 31, said the volunteers are primarily university students in good health conditions and having strong command of foreign languages.

They are to support delegations of officials, athletes, coaches, referees and foreign news agencies. Some of them will work as emcees and interpreters during competitions, medal ceremonies and related events, as well as working sessions and press conferences.

Nguyen Van Dung, a student of the Ha Noi University, expressed his delight at his selection which he hopes to help him improve his communication skills.

For her part, Pham Phuong Thao, a student of the Ha Noi Open University, said she hopes to promote Vietnamese people’s cordiality and love for peace to international friends through the SEA Games 31.

SEA Games 31, themed “For a Stronger South East Asia”, will be held from May 12-23 in 12 cities and province. The regional biennial event will see the participation of almost 10,000 athletes, coaches and officials of 40 sports.
