(VOVworld) - To begin this week’s Letter Box edition, we would like to say Hello to a very young listener John Langley from England.

(VOVworld) - I love to see stamps from around the world and the beautiful postcards listeners send us. Reiner Peuthert of Germany sent us a post card showing the verdant forest and large lake of August-Betel Park in Stendal.

First on our show today, we want to welcome Prithwiraj Purkayastha, a 30-year-old listener in India. He wrote: “I am a regular listener to VOV English programs on shortwave and send you reception reports on a regular basis. I love VOV programs very much as they give me information about Vietnam in detail.

First on our show today, we would like to say hello to Fred Schack, our colleague from the Multicultural Radio Station in Brisbane Australia.

Some of our listeners from Japan and India are interested in old Vietnamese stories and poems. We’d like to introduce you to The tale of Kiều, the great epic poem of Vietnam.

(VOVworld)- Hello and welcome to VOV’s Letter Box, our weekly feature dedicated to listeners around the world. First of all, we would like to welcome Vincent Kaufmann from Tuscon, UK to our program. Vincent said he wanted to learn more about VOV and Vietnam.

A: Dear listeners, we hope this week’s edition of the Letter Box finds you well. Before answering some of the many interesting questions from listeners, we would like to send a late happy birthday wish to 48-year-old Yoshihiro Kusanagi of Japan whose birthday was on June 29th.

This week, VOV’s Letter Box has been flooded with mails and emails from our dear listeners throughout the world. Despite the rapid growth of the internet and online media, the number of VOV shortwave listeners keeps increasing and so does the number of DXer Clubs. This shows that this traditional media remains a popular and effective channel of information. VOV has been broadcasting for 68 years and will continue in the years to come and, we greatly appreciate your listening.
