The two-day event aims to enhance friendship between the two Parties and States as well as authorities of the two provinces, said Deputy Secretary of the provincial Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Dinh Thi Anh at the opening ceremony.
The program offers opportunities to youths of both sides to bolster mutual understanding, Anh said, noting that the program also helps local children popularize their hometown’s land and people.
Meanwhile, secretary of the communist youth league of Guangxi province’s Chongzuo city Yang Zhi Ling hoped that the youths will continue to treasure and contribute to Vietnam-China ties.
Art performances, talks on the friendship between border youths and incense offering at the statue of President Ho Chi Minh will be held during the program.
Also, the youths will visit Hoang Van Thu relic site, Phai Ve historic relic site and Lang Son Children’s Palace.
