(CLO) On the afternoon of March 29, in Hanoi, the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs (SOCVN) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held the Launching Ceremony of the Vietnamese Language Honor Day and the Contest to Find Vietnamese Language Ambassadors Abroad in 2025.

In her opening remarks, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang said: "The importance of preserving and spreading the Vietnamese language affirms that Vietnamese is not only a means of communication but also the soul of the nation, the crystallization of Vietnamese cultural identity through thousands of years of history. This is the thread connecting the Vietnamese community living abroad with the national roots."

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang spoke at the ceremony.

Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang also reviewed the results achieved after two years of implementing the Project on Vietnamese Language Honor Day in the overseas Vietnamese community. In recent times, response activities have taken place enthusiastically in many diverse forms, with the active participation of domestic and local agencies and a large number of overseas Vietnamese around the world.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs called on the overseas Vietnamese community, associations 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 environments will contribute to preserving the national cultural identity.

Ms. Tran Hong Van, Vietnamese Language Ambassador 2023, shared that helping overseas Vietnamese children speak Vietnamese, love Vietnamese culture and connect with their national roots will help them build a solid foundation, ready to shine anywhere in the world. Ms. Tran Hong Van also emphasized that maintaining the language and culture for the young generation of Vietnamese living abroad requires the efforts of all parties involved.

Also at the event, Vice Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs Nguyen Manh Dong officially announced the Contest “Searching for Vietnamese Ambassadors Abroad in 2025”.
