The programme, the fifth of its kind, is held by the municipal chapter of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.

There were 57 participants from Cambodian localities of Phnom Penh, Battanmbang, Kampot, Svay Rieng, and Kratie; along with 54 from the Lao provinces of Vientiane, Champasak, and Attapeu.

Meanwhile, 135 Vietnamese delegates from HCM City and border provinces such as Kon Tum, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An, and Kien Giang are also participating in the programme.

During the programme, young delegates will offer incense and flowers to President Ho Chi Minh at the municipal Children’s House. They will also visit the city’s famous destinations, including the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Cu Chi Tunnels, the Artinus 3D Art Museum, and the river bus route.
