In early 2017, the General Political
Department of the Vietnam People’s Army launched a campaign composing
literature and art works on Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia fighting solidarity.
The event was in response to the Vietnam-Laos Friendship and Solidarity Year
2017 and Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Year 2017 as well as the 40th anniversary
of signing Vietnam-Laos Treaty on Amity and Cooperation and 50th anniversary of
Vietnam-Cambodia diplomatic ties.
Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Trong Nghia, Deputy Director of the
General Department of Politics, said the activity helped increase art and
culture exchanges between the three countries’ armies.
The organising board received 1,707 entries, including 626 from the Vietnam
People’s Army, 602 from the Royal Cambodian Army, and 479 from Lao People’s
Armed Forces.
The best 133 works were selected with 14 A prizes, 27 B prizes, 40 C prizes,
and 50 consolation prizes.
Vietnam earned five A prizes, 10 B prizes, 15 C prizes and 20 consolation
prizes.
The awarding ceremony will be held in respective countries in this month.
