The two-day event features the participation of representatives from a number of education departments and centres in some northeastern provinces of Thailand. Vietnamese Consul General in Khon Kaen Chu Duc Dung attended the programme.
The programme aims to enhance the understanding between Thai and Vietnamese students and young people. Within the framework of the summer camp, students from Vietnam and Thailand have the opportunity to exchange experiences in daily life and studying, contributing to strengthening the solidarity between the two countries’ youths and cultivating the friendship between the two nations.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Chalieo Sorasith, Principal of Pathumthep Wittayakarn School in the Northeast region of Thailand, said that the Centre for teaching and learning the Vietnamese language under the Pathumthep Wittayakarn School is very honoured to have received permission from the Thai Ministry of Education to organise the Vietnamese language and culture summer camp. This is an opportunity for Thai students studying Vietnamese and learning about the culture and history of Vietnam.

Vietnam and Thailand have always been large and important trading partners of each other. Specifically, Thailand's investment in Vietnam has been increasingly large and currently ranks second in ASEAN. Therefore, learning Vietnamese language and culture will be good for Thai students looking for jobs related to Vietnam.
