exchange information on young people’s affairs and share experience in youth
union work and teenager movements in each nation.

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.

meeting is held from August 13-19, with main activities taking place in Hanoi,

The meeting has been organised in rotation in
each country since 2000, aiming to realise the common policy of the leaders of

After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
