Vietnamese students hold sports festival in RoK
(VOV) - On October 24-25, students from universities and research institutes across the Republic of Korea (RoK) participated in the eighth annual student sports festival, the Vietnam Student Association in South Korea (VSAK) has reported.
“Sports instils good human virtues and moral values in youth as well as teaches them to be disciplined and competitive,” said Vice Secretary Le Thuy Trang from the Vietnam Embassy in the RoK in a speech at the opening.
A VSAK student representative said this year’s festival was a fun filled two days, which saw some 250 matches in men and women’s football, badminton, table tennis, tug of war and track-and-field events.
On the occasion, the student branch from Busan National University also organized a Bowling Busan tournament with the participation of 40 athletes from eight universities from the RoK’s southern region.
The event was timed to coincide with the 23rd anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations, said the VSAK student representative.
