Hanoi: More than 100 young overseas Vietnamese (OVs) from 32 countries and territories took part in a Vietnamese language exchange programme in the central city of Hue on July 17 as part of the Vietnam Summer Camp 2026. The event aimed to strengthen bonds among participants while helping young overseas Vietnamese improve their Vietnamese language skills and deepen their connection with their homeland.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the programme was designed to create a sense of cultural identity among the young overseas Vietnamese community. Participants engaged in various activities that encouraged the use of the Vietnamese language, providing them an opportunity to not only practice speaking but also to learn about Vietnamese customs and traditions.

This initiative reflects the ongoing commitment to preserve the Vietnamese language and culture among overseas communities, ensuring that future generations remain connected to their roots.
