Entitled Denmark in Your Eyes 2019, the contest is organised by the Danish Embassy, the Vietnam -Denmark Friendship Association (VIDAFA) and the Ministry of Education and Training.
This is an annual event with the aim of increasing the understanding and friendship between the people of the two countries.
