A delegation of 150 Vietnamese young people joined their Chinese peers in the “Red study tour” initiative held in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China from February 8–12, contributing to stronger youth exchanges between the two countries.

A delegation of youths from five provinces and cities of Vietnam visits the Memorial House of Vietnamese Schools in Nanning, Guangxi.

The Vietnamese representatives come from Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces and Hai Phong city in the north.

During the programme, participants visited and conducted field studies in localities in Guangxi, including Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou, Chongzuo and Fangchenggang. They toured historical sites associated with President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary activities in China.

Through these activities, they gained deeper insights into the revolutionary friendship forged by veteran leaders of the two countries, who supported each other in the struggle for national liberation.

In addition to site visits, the programme featured thematic discussions and exchanges on President Ho Chi Minh, scientific and technological innovation, Party General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping, among other activities.

Zuo Xianglei, Deputy Secretary of the Guangxi Youth League Committee and President of the Guangxi Youth Federation, said the programme marked the first activity in 2026 within the “Red Journey – Following President Ho Chi Minh’s Footsteps” series for Vietnamese youth in China. She described it as a concrete step to implement high-level common perceptions reached by leaders of the two Parties and countries last year.

Nguyen Thi Huong Nhung, Secretary of the Cao Bang provincial Youth Union, said the programme provided practical education for young participants, helping them better understand President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary path and the historical bonds between the Vietnamese and Chinese revolutions.

It also enhanced the sense of responsibility among younger generations to preserve and promote bilateral friendship.
