Students encouraged to join regional sports events
The Vietnamese Government always creates favourable conditions for students to join Southeast Asian sporting activities.
The statement was made by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan in Hanoi on June 27 during his meeting with leaders of eight delegations attending the fifth ASEAN Schools Games.
The Deputy PM praised the delegations’ active participation in the games and thanked the ASEAN Schools Sports Council (ASSC) for helping Vietnam host the event.
The annual games contribute to developing the sports movement and fostering friendship, solidarity and mutual understanding among regional students, Nhan said.
For his part, ASSC President Hawazi Daipi said the successful organisation of this year’s event has promoted regional sports activities and offered an exchange opportunity for Southeast Asian students.
