The event, which aims to enhance students' knowledge and proficiency in the Vietnamese, attracted 30 contestants divided into five teams. They competed multiple rounds, including quizzes and presentations.
Speaking at the event, Consul General of Vietnam in Savannakhet Dang Thi Hai Tam highlighted the importance of languages in cultural and social development, emphasizing that it serves as a key tool for communication and learning.
She emphasized the necessity for Vietnamese and Lao nationals, as well as peoples of neighbouring nations, to learn each other's languages and expressed her hope that this contest will inspire students to further their studies in Vietnamese in the coming time.
Through learning Vietnamese, students can learn about Vietnam's culture, history, and traditions, while also opening doors for future educational and career opportunities in Vietnam. In the long run, these students can serve as bridges, fostering stronger and more enduring ties between the two countries, she said.
The contest is a useful playground for the students but also helps foster cultural understanding and bilateral cooperation between Vietnam and Laos./.
