Speaking at the Conference, Dr. Mai Huu Tin said: “In 2017, I accepted the invitation of Master Nguyen Van Chieu and Mr. Le Quoc An to take on the position of President of the Vietnam Vovinam Federation as a sponsor and liaison with domestic and international authorities.

“In the past 8 years, since Dr. Mai Huu Tin held the position of President of the Vietnam Vovinam Federation, the position of Vovinam domestically and internationally has been stabilized and raised to a new level.

Over the years, Dr. Mai Huu Tin has used his personal financial resources to sponsor Vovinam activities domestically and internationally, which is an extremely great contribution. Hopefully, focusing on the position of President of the World Vovinam Federation will help Vovinam develop even more strongly," said Master Tran Van My.

In addition, martial arts master Tran Van My also presented the key operational goals of the Vietnam Vovinam Federation in the coming time: Choosing a reasonable operational model for the Vietnam Vovinam Federation, building a streamlined executive committee including functional committees that operate effectively.
