On April 12, 2023, the official launching ceremony of the "Bun - Vietnamese Dictionary" will be solemnly held at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU. The dictionary is a collaborative product between scientists from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU and Veliko Tarnovo University (Bulgaria) within the framework of the official development assistance project of the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria (represented by the Bulgarian Embassy) entitled: "Enhancing the quality of foreign language learning through the modernization of foreign language teaching tools". The editors for the first edition of the Bun - Vietnamese dictionary include: Le Quang Thiem, Han Van Khan, Hoang Nam; the editors for the second edition with basic re-editing and supplementation include Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Minh Hoa and Corresponding Academician, Professor, Dr. Stoyan Burov.
As expected, the ceremony will be attended by Ms. Marinela Milcheva Petkova - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Bulgaria to Vietnam; Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan - Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities; representatives of the Bulgaria - Vietnam Friendship Association, a group of authors from Veliko Tarnovo University (Bulgaria) and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, scientists from the Institute of Linguistics, the Vietnam Linguistics Association and the Vietnam Institute of Dictionary and Encyclopedia and representatives of press and media agencies.

The official launch marks the first time a dictionary of a non-common language has been revised, supplemented and republished in Vietnam since the first edition in 1984. Within the framework of the ceremony, the Organizing Committee will also organize an exchange between the authors and experts from Bulgaria and Vietnam as well as with the authors of the first edition. The exchange will be an opportunity for the authors and experts to share about the process of compiling and modernizing the dictionary. The Bulgarian Embassy in Vietnam will also share information and opportunities for scholarships and exchange studies in Bulgaria for Vietnamese officials and students.
“Improving the quality of foreign language learning through the modernization of foreign language teaching tools” is a very significant cooperation project carried out by scientists from Bulgaria and Vietnam, not only contributing to improving the research, teaching and training capacity of Bulgarian and Vietnamese languages for lecturers, researchers and students of the two countries but also contributing to strengthening the educational relations and cultural exchange between Bulgaria and Vietnam in general.
