In the 2022 - 2024 tenure, the association has organized various activities in many fields such as organizing various student activities and movements, and gathering and connecting Vietnamese students and young start-ups across the world.
It raised more than 100 million VND (over 4,000 USD) to support victims of Typhoon Yagi at home, while conducting many charity activities.
Addressing the event via teleconferencing, Mr. Nguyen Minh Triet, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee and President of the Vietnamese Students’ Association Central Committee praised the efforts by the SVAU over the past tenure with breakthrough progress, revealing its active and pioneering role.
Minister Counsellor Nghiem Xuan Hoa from the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia said he hopes that the association will continue connecting Vietnamese people in Australia, helping maintain the Vietnamese cultural identity and promoting the image of Vietnamese people in the host country.
The congress elected an executive committee for the 2024 - 2026 tenure with 26 members, including a president and four vice presidents.
The congress is not only a place for connection, but also a basis for initiatives and joint actions to build a stronger Vietnamese student community in Australia./.
