In his opening remarks, Vietnamese Consul General Ngo Phuong Nghi lauded efforts made by the association in organising the class, which helps Vietnamese children in the host nation learn Vietnamese language and understand more about Vietnamese culture.

They will also have a deeper understanding about the country’s history and tradition, thus preserving national cultural characteristics, he noted.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the association Le Thanh Do praised support from the Consulate General, benefactors and the Vietnamese community in organising the class.

The opening ceremony also featured an art performance./.
