Vietnamese youths begin SEA journey
VOV.VN -Twenty-eight outstanding ASEAN and Japanese youths will take part in the Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Programme (SSEAYP) from October 25, starting in Tokyo, Japan, to share with each other their countries culture.
The youths who comprise the Vietnam delegation were chosen through a strict selection process that requires them to be at their best behaviour in representing the nation as a goodwill ambassador.
The program, now in its 43rd year, is a unique cultural exchange program sponsored by the Japanese government that unfolds on board the MS Nippon Maru, a Japanese luxury cruise liner.
