It was co-organised by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO)'s representative office in the southern region, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union's chapter in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vietnam-ASEAN Friendship Association in Ho Chi Minh City and Thailand’s Consulate General in the city.

The programme marked the 10th anniversary of the Vietnam-Thailand strategic partnership (2003-2023), said Tran Hoang Khanh Van, deputy head of the VUFO’s southern region office.

Van highlighted the good relations between the two countries across fields, from politics to defence-security, economy, trade, culture and education, calling people-to-people exchange a basic foundation for them to build up their friendship.

The programme featured traditional art performances of both Thailand and Vietnam.
