More than 300 Vietnamese and Japanese volunteers, on July 30th, planted trees in Lang Co Town, Phu Loc District in the central province of Thua Thien – Hue.

The activities are under a forest planting program launched by Japan’s Aeon group. With an investment of 1.32 billion VND, funded by the Japanese group, the program will be carried out from 2010 to 2015.

About 34 ha of forest will be grown. Every year, young people from the two countries will take part in a tree planting campaign.

The program gives a good chance for both Vietnamese and Japanese youth to exchange and share experiences as well as improve the relationship between the two countries.

The program will make Lang Co Town more beautiful and attractive tourist site in Hue City.
