The congress reviewed movements of the Vietnamese students in New Zealand over the past time, and set out targets and orientations for the association’s operation in the coming time.
The delegates at the congress also elected an executive board of the association, including 13 members, and Nguyen Duc Xuan Tung from the Victoria University of Wellington was elected as the President for the 2022-2024 term.
Speaking at the congress, Vietnamese Ambassador to New Zealand Nguyen Van Trung highly appreciated dynamism of Vietnamese students in the country, and affirmed their important role in boosting exchanges between youths and people of the two countries.
He hoped that the association will work as the core of the Vietnamese community in New Zealand.
The association planned to organise various activities to enhance connectivity within the community, and support Vietnamese students in the host country.
In 2019, over 5,000 Vietnamese students studied across New Zealand. The number dropped to some 2,000 due to the COVID-19 pandemic./.
