Vietnamese Association debuts in Morocco
VOV.VN - Nearly 100 Vietnamese nationals living in Morocco attended a congress in Rabat capital on April 24 to establish the Vietnamese Association in the country.
The delegates endorsed the Association’s Charter and development orientations, and elected its Executive Committee consisting of 11 members chaired by Korchane Juliette.
It is noteworthy that the Congress attracted a large number of second- and third-generation expatriates, as well as Vietnamese students and workers in Morocco. Nearly 40% of the members of the Executive Committee are young.
Addressing the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Morocco Dang Thi Thu Ha expressed her hope that the Association would promote its core role in gathering Vietnamese people in Morocco to live and integrate into the local community while preserving the cultural tradition, turning their hearts to the homeland, and actively contributing to developing the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries.
Korchane Juliette, head of the Association, revealed that the Association would establish a network of Vietnamese people in the country, organize Vietnamese language classes for Vietnamese children, and develop summer camps for kids to learn about Vietnam. It will also complete and launch Vietnam Gate in Morocco and organize a number of activities with friendship associations of the host country.
Currently, between 300 – 400 Vietnamese expatriates are living, studying and working in Morocco.
