In December 2023, Ha Giang welcomed a youth delegation from Wenshan Prefecture, resulting in meaningful discussions. Through these exchange activities, the youth of Ha Giang and China have had opportunities to share experiences in youth union work and youth movements, strengthening mutual understanding, and fostering deeper bonds.
Continuing the tradition of friendly exchanges, there are numerous meaningful activities between the youth of Ha Giang and those of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces in the summer of 2024. In early August, a delegation of 50 representatives from the Ha Giang Youth Union, led by Nguyen Hai Duong, member of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and President of the Ha Giang Youth Union, participated in the 2024 China-Viet Nam youth friendship exchange. The exchange program between the youth of Ha Giang and Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan province, was successfully held in Wenshan.
Nguyen Hai Duong said that in a spirit of friendship, sharing, and connection, the exchange program featured a meaningful forum focusing on topics such as youth entrepreneurship and businesses, cross-border e-commerce, border trade, youth cultural exchange, and sharing experiences in youth union work. Representatives from Chinese and Vietnamese youth offered valuable insights to further strengthen the friendly relations between the two sides.
As part of the exchange program, youth from both countries watched a meaningful video about the Viet Nam-China youth exchange, and participated in a tree-planting activity as a symbol of China-Viet Nam friendship.
