Cultural exchange highlights Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia solidarity
PANO – The Ho Chi Minh City’s Youth Union chapter on March 31 held the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia cultural exchange 2019 at Ton Duc Thang University.
Hundreds of students of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia enjoyed their traditional singing and dancing performances and participated in a number of cultural and sports events, such as culinary festival, running, stick pushing, and tug of war.
Especially, they joined Laos' and Cambodia's ritual of tying threads around each other’s wrists praying for good luck, good health, and mutual solidarity.
The program showed the care of Ho Chi Minh City’s leadership for Lao and Cambodian students who are living and studying in the city on the occasion of Laos’ Bunpimay and Cambodia’s Chol Chnam Thmay traditional festivals.
In addition, it offered a chance for the participants to learn more about the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia relations and strengthen the solidarity among youths of the three countries.
