With the spirit of "Preserving the Vietnamese language, preserving the Vietnamese soul", the Deputy Minister called on the overseas Vietnamese community, organizations and individuals to join hands to preserve and promote the Vietnamese language. Using Vietnamese not only in the family but also in the learning, working and international exchange environment will contribute to preserving the national cultural identity.
Representing overseas Vietnamese, Ms. Tran Hong Van, Vietnamese Language Ambassador 2023, shared that helping overseas Vietnamese children speak Vietnamese, love Vietnamese culture and help them connect with their national roots will help them build a solid foundation to shine anywhere in the world. She also emphasized that maintaining the language and culture for the young generation of Vietnamese in Australia and other countries around the world requires the efforts of all parties involved.

In response to the Vietnamese Language Honor Day, on this occasion, the Foreign Television Department, Vietnam Television (VTV4) introduces the programs "Vietnamese is not difficult" and "Happy with Vietnamese".

The Center for Vietnamese Studies and Cay Tre Vietnamese Language School (Japan) launched the contest "Vietnamese speech contest, drawing, learning about the homeland of Vietnam" and launched the Vietnamese Bookshelf built by the community. This is a useful playground, helping the Vietnamese community in Japan, especially the younger generation, to connect more with the culture and language of their homeland, while creating conditions for them to naturally improve their Vietnamese.

The program will be broadcast on VTV4 from April 2025 and on digital platforms.
