The conference took place over 3 days (June 29 to July 1), bringing together nearly 90 delegates, including representatives of the French Embassy in Vietnam, the FrenchEducation Agency Abroad (AEFE), the French Research Institute for Development (IRD), as well as teachers and students from France, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. All students attending came from high schools in the LabelFrancÉducation network - a global system of high-quality French bilingual training institutions managed by AEFE.

According to Professor Tran Thanh Van, President of the Rencontres du Vietnam, the conference aims to connect Francophone students in the region, strengthen educational friendship among countries, and respond to the 3rd United Nations Conference on the Ocean held in Nice (France). The main theme of the conference is ocean and marine space conservation.

At the opening ceremony, Mr. Lam Hai Giang, Vice Chairman of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that this conference is not only meaningful in terms of education but also contributes to enhancing cultural exchange, promoting understanding and connection between young generations in the LabelFrancÉducation network - a high-quality bilingual education initiative coordinated by AEFE. In particular, the event brings together students from three Southeast Asian countries: Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, which have long-standing friendly relations and share the cultural and historical flow of the Mekong River.
