The festival is expected to become a joyful and enriching playground for exchanges among children from the Southeast Asian countries, thereby introducing the historical traditions and cultural values of each country to the children of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
The event will also create an opportunity for children from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to strengthen exchange and mutual understanding, thus contributing to educating them about the special traditional friendship between the three countries.
Additionally, this is a meaningful event to foster international solidarity and friendship, tighten ties between the three countries, and celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Laos (September 5, 1962-2024) and the 57th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Cambodia (June 24, 1967-2024).
The Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia Children's Festival is a biennial activity held since 2010 with the aim of creating a useful playground and learning opportunities for cultural exchange for children from the three countries.
