After two years of postponement due to Covid-19, the Vietnam Summer Camp 2022 for young overseas Vietnamese will be held from July 19 to August 3 by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, VOV reported.

As many as 108 delegates representing young Vietnamese people from 25 countries and territories worldwide will take part in this year’s programme in nine cities and provinces across the country.

They will engage in a number of activities, including visiting historical and cultural sites to learn about the country’s cultural tradition, along with friendship exchanges, charity and contests on storytelling in their Vietnamese mother tongue.

Young expatriates who excel in their study and innovative startup and make great contributions to the homeland will be honoured on this occasion.

This year the opening ceremony will be held in the central province of Nghe An, while the closing ceremony will take place in Vung Tau city in the south.

Vietnam Summer Camp is held annually by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs to create a playground for young Vietnamese people overseas to return to the roots, and learn about the country’s history and cultural tradition.

It also creates the chance for young Vietnamese people overseas to connect and interact with their compatriots to contribute to the fatherland.

Since 2004, Vietnam Summer Camp has attracted the participation of nearly 2,000 young Vietnamese people and students from more than 30 countries and territories.

In this May, OVs from 17 countries around the world, have paid a visit to Truong Sa islands. The OVs’ recent trip was the first one after a two-year suspension due to the negative impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic and 2022 also marks the 10th year of the programme.

The annual programme which arranges trips bringing OVs to Truong Sa islands helps strengthen national solidarity, Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Phung Khanh Tai said on May 30.
