The 3rd China-Vietnam Youth Festival opened in the Friendship Pass near the national border in China’s southwestern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Nov. 7 to cement friendship and mutual understanding between the two neighbors.
The 4-day event, co-organized by the Central Committee of Communist Youth League of China and Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, echoes the initiative of high-ranking leaders from the two countries to deepen a comprehensive strategic cooperation partnership between China and Vietnam.
Chinese delegates from a wide range of industries like politics, economy, education, media and medicine will visit government agencies, companies, schools and youth organizations in Vietnam from Nov. 7 to 10, and attend local forums to discuss issues like environment protection, cultural identity and the economy.
The CPC Central Committee and the Chinese government attach much importance to youth exchanges and hope to create friendship between the two countries, said Wang Hongyan, secretary of secretariat of the Central Committee of Communist Youth League of China, during her speech at the launch of the festival.
The Chinese youth delegates will have an opportunity to see rich history and booming socio-economic development during their stay in Vietnam, said Nguyen Manh Dung, permanent secretary of the Central Committee of Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union. He hoped that the in-depth exchange will pave a solid foundation for further cooperation between the two neighbors.
The main activities will take place in Hanoi and 6 northern provinces including Quang Ninh, Lao Cai, Lang Son, Phu Tho, Bac Ninh and Ninh Binh, according to the schedule.
The first two youth festivals were held in Guangxi in 2010 and 2013, during which about 6,000 Vietnamese delegates attended the events.
