Speaking at the welcoming ceremony for the outstanding overseas Vietnamese youth, Vice Chairman of the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee Truong Cong Thai expressed his honor when Dak Lak was chosen as the starting locality for the Vietnam Summer Camp 2025 journey. He also expressed his appreciation for the noble gesture of the delegation when presenting practical gifts to disadvantaged households in Tuor B village, Ea Na commune; considering this not only a material help but also a warm spiritual gift, expressing compassion and sincere feelings, contributing to spreading the spirit of mutual love.
The Vice Chairman of the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee believes that with their youth, knowledge and aspirations, the young people and overseas Vietnamese delegates will become a bridge connecting Vietnam with the world, becoming messengers spreading the message of peace, cooperation and development, bringing with them beautiful memories and deep love for their homeland after the summer camp.
Representing 110 young overseas Vietnamese, Nguyen Duc Minh (20 years old, from Russia) shared his feelings when participating in the Vietnam Summer Camp 2025: “For me, this summer camp is not a vacation but rather a journey of connection. I learned many things, not only from the places I visited, but also from the people sitting here – young Vietnamese people all over the world.”
Duc Minh expressed his gratitude and pride at participating in the program and affirmed that, although living abroad, overseas Vietnamese youth always look towards their homeland and want to learn more about the culture and history of their homeland.
In an exciting atmosphere filled with flags and flowers and full of youthful enthusiasm, overseas Vietnamese delegates, together with artists and young people in Dak Lak, performed special performances, imbued with the unique cultural features of their homeland where they live and study. This is an opportunity to strengthen the spirit of solidarity, contributing to fostering the close connection between the overseas Vietnamese community and the homeland.
This is the first year that the Vietnam Summer Camp opens in Buon Ma Thuot - the land that opened the victory of the Central Highlands Campaign, creating an important historical turning point for the Great Spring Victory of 1975, completely liberating the South and unifying the country. The delegates were able to visit the Central Highlands with its unique culture and the lives of the ethnic minorities; and at the same time witness the strong growth of this land.
The theme and activities of this year's Summer Camp aim to commemorate and honor the country's important historical milestones: the 95th anniversary of the Party's founding, the 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, the reunification of the country and the 80th anniversary of National Day September 2.
Vietnam Summer Camp 2025 takes place from July 13 to 26 in many localities across the North, Central and South with many diverse activities such as: paying tribute to ancestors and heroic martyrs; meeting and exchanging between overseas Vietnamese youth and domestic youth; learning about the history, culture and traditional customs of the nation; visiting scenic spots, tangible and intangible culture of Vietnam.
