Attending the event were First Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh
Communist Youth Union Central Committee Le Quoc Phong and Secretary of the
Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China Fu
Zhenbang.
Addressing the function, Secretary of
the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee Bui Quang Huy said the
meeting offers a chance for the two countries’ youth unions and youngsters to
exchange information on young people’s affairs and share experience in youth
union work and teenager movements in each nation.
Huy expressed his hope that through the
event, Chinese youths will understand more about the land, culture and people
of Vietnam – a peace-loving country; a good comrade, good friend, good
neighbour and good partner of China; and a responsible member of the
international community.
He asked the two countries’ youth
delegates to continue maintaining their role as a friendship bridge that makes
active and responsible contributions to developing the cooperation between
Vietnamese and Chinese people, especially youths.
Also at the event, the delegates had a
chance to watch a TV report recalling the 18-year journey of Vietnam-China
friendship exchanges and enjoy art performances featuring the cultures of both
countries.
The 18th Vietnam-China youth friendship
meeting is held from August 13-19, with main activities taking place in Hanoi,
Ninh Binh, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
The meeting has been organised in rotation in
each country since 2000, aiming to realise the common policy of the leaders of
the two Parties and States on enhancing exchanges between the Vietnamese and
Chinese people and youths.

In mid-May, the provincial Museum organised an exhibition named "Duoi la co Dang Cong san Viet Nam quang vinh” (Under the flag of the glorious Communist Party of Vietnam). This meaningful activity took place in the joyful atmosphere to celebrate the country's major holidays and the Party congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, towards the 14th National Party Congress.
A delegation from Hoa Binh province led by Colonel Trinh Duc Thiem, Commander of the provincial Military Command, completed a mission to visit and encourage officers and soldiers stationed on Truong Sa and a DK1 platform from May 20 to 26 as part of activities of the Vietnam People’s Navy. The delegation included 12 senior officials from various provincial agencies and units.

The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held a gathering at the provincial Military Command headquarters on May 20 to commend the armed forces that took part in a military parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification on April 30.
Throughout his revolutionary life, Uncle Ho visited Hoa Binh province four times. He also sent dozens of letters, telegrams, greeting cards, and heartfelt messages to local officials, Party members, and people of all ethnic groups, urging them to remain united, support one another, strive for progress, and actively engage in both production and resistance efforts to build a prosperous homeland.
