The delegates adopted the Association’s Charter and development orientations, and elected its Executive Committee consisting of 11 members chaired by Korchane Juliette.
It is noteworthy that the Congress attracted a large number of second- and third-generation overseas Vietnamese, as well as Vietnamese students and workers in Morocco. Nearly 40% of the members of the Executive Committee are young.
Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Morocco Dang Thi Thu Ha expressed her hope that the association would promote its key role in gathering Vietnamese people in Morocco to live and integrate into the local community while preserving the cultural tradition, turning their hearts to the homeland, and actively contributing to developing the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries.
Ms. Korchane Juliette, head of the Association, said that the association would establish a network of Vietnamese people in the country, organize Vietnamese language classes for Vietnamese children, and develop summer camps for kids to learn about Vietnam. It will also complete and launch Vietnam Gate in Morocco and organize a number of activities with friendship associations of the host country.
There are now about 300 – 400 overseas Vietnamese living, studying and working in Morocco./.
