•  Cultural exchange celebrates Vietnam-Lao relations

The contest aims to encourage the young generation to uphold revolutionary traditions, foster the time-honoured friendship and solidarity between Vietnam and Laos, and combat “peaceful evolution” schemes as well as hostile forces’ distorted allegations undermining this special relationship.

In his speech at the launch ceremony, Deputy Head of the Party Central Committee’s Communication and Education Commission Bui The Duc praised the Academy of Journalism and Communication for launching the contest, adding that he hopes the Academy will closely coordinate with universities and junior colleges nationwide to create favourable conditions for cadres, lecturers and students to join the event.
