President of the Voice of Vietnam Nguyen The Ky reviewed the seminar outcomes: “At this seminar, we discussed the need to preserve the Vietnamese language and the pioneer role of media agencies. Participants proposed the Party, State, and National Assembly to fine-tune policies and law on languages; and the need for a Code on the Vietnamese language as the national language.
