Experience in the city named after Uncle Ho
According to Mr. Ngo Minh Hai - Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union, the festival is one of the events celebrating the 62nd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Laos and the 57th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Cambodia.
During the three days of the festival, the children visited the Ho Chi Minh City branch of the Ho Chi Minh Museum, Uncle Ho's Space for children, and participated in experiential activities in Can Gio district.
On the evening of August 13, a sudden rain came while the delegates were touring the city by double-decker bus, but the delegates were still very excited and full of energy despite having gone through many activities in the afternoon.
Mr. Ngo Minh Hai said that despite the geographical distance, solidarity and friendship will bring you closer together through this festival.
This is also an opportunity to help children better understand the special traditional friendship between the three countries of Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia.
From then on, each child will have the responsibility to preserve the friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the three countries.
Sightseeing and experiential activities are part of this year's festival.

In Vietnam, in addition to 85 children from Ho Chi Minh City, there are also representatives of children from several provinces bordering the two neighboring countries: Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An, Kien Giang and Dong Thap.
