This was announced by VTC Digital Television and the Quang Ninh Radio and Television Station in Hanoi yesterday.
The competition, an annual event hosted alternately by the two countries, attracts performers from both sides and, according to the organising board, this year’s contest features many promising singers.
The top six contestants from each country who make it through the qualifying rounds will perform two songs apiece in the final round, one in Vietnamese and one in Chinese, to determine the ultimate winner.
The contest contributes to promoting friendship, cooperation and cultural exchange between Vietnam and China.
