Ho Chi Minh City on May 28 opened a contest on ASEAN among municipal students under the theme of “Integration and Development.”
The event draws 193 student teams from 20 municipal universities and colleges, who will show their knowledge about diplomatic relations and economic, cultural and educational cooperation among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The contest will also include questions about Vietnamese culture and history, especially sites of cultural interests and ultimately the Thang Long - Hanoi millennium anniversary.
The final of the three-round contest will coincide with the ASEAN festival on June 25, where all nine member countries but Brunei, which has not yet opened representative office in HCM City, have registered to showcase their cultural, educational and music products and paintings.
Organisers from the municipal League of Friendship Associations said the contest aimed to improve students’ knowledge about ASEAN in celebrations of the 15th anniversary of Vietnam’s joining the grouping and its ASEAN presidency this year./.
