On this occasion, cultural activities, artistic performances and a photo exhibition showcasing Vietnam, its people and its country were also held in celebration of Vietnamese Culture Day (November 24).

An opening ceremony for the 2026-2027 academic year of its Vietnamese language classes for children.

Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Nguyen Van Trung underscored the role of the Vietnamese language in preserving national identity and strengthening bonds among Vietnamese people living far from their homeland. According to the Ambassador, language and culture are closely intertwined and together shape the identity of each nation. Therefore, preserving one's mother tongue abroad also means safeguarding one's roots, traditions and Vietnamese cultural values.

Teaching and learning Vietnamese in Belarus not only helps younger generations take pride in their national identity and understand and appreciate traditional culture, but also serves as a bridge for sharing Vietnamese culture with international friends.

The opening ceremony was followed by an artistic programme featuring performances by students and parents, with a distinctly Vietnamese character, including dances, songs, poetry readings and an ao dai fashion presentation.

The activities marking the opening of the new academic year and celebrating Vietnamese Culture Day help encourage younger generations to preserve their mother tongue and maintain their connection with their homeland, while also promoting Vietnamese cultural values in Belarus.
