Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his spouse, along with a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, on January 19 evening (local time) visited Sapa Trade Centre, and Tamda Trade Centre in the Czech Republic, as part of his official visit to the country. These are Vietnamese-invested centers. Covering 40ha, the Sapa Trade Centre is a cultural centre of the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic. The bustling complex features more than 1,000 booths, serving the business needs of about 10,000 Vietnamese people. At the complex, a Vietnamese language center has been maintained for 22 years, teaching Vietnamese for thousands of children of Vietnamese families in the Czech Republic. Speaking with the center’s teachers and children, Prime Minister Chinh urged for the strengthening of teaching Vietnamese to children. Vietnamese is a bridge between generations, he said, suggesting the center set up online Vietnamese teaching programs. The Vietnamese leader then visited Tamda supermarket of the Vietnamese-owned Tamda Group, which is specializing in food supply and business real estate. Expressing his delight at the group’ development, Prime Minister Chinh suggested expanding the model to other cities, in the Czech Republic and European countries, while coordinating to build Vietnamese brands to supply the Czech and European markets. Praising the Tamda Group for launching the Tamda Media channel in Vietnamese, he requested the group to coordinate with Vietnamese ministries, sectors and agencies to ensure the channel runs smoothly./.
