Hundreds of participants from 60 countries and territories will attend the congress from July 27 to August 4, 2012, to discuss ‘burning issues’ toward the development and dissemination of the artificial language Esperanto worldwide.

This is the first time a global congress of Esperanto will take place in Vietnam.

Nguyen Van Loi, President of the Vietnam Esperanto Society, said Vietnam is ready to host the event.

Loi said the use of Esperanto for promoting peace, friendship and development among nations is in line with the Party’s policy to befriend all countries in the world.
