The activities are expected to help enhance mutual understanding between the people of Long An and Chungcheongnam and consolidate cooperation and friendship between the two localities.

Long An and Chungcheongnam established cooperative ties in May 2005. Since then, progress has been made in the bilateral ties, especially in cultural exchanges, exchanges between young people, public administration and education.

Many Chungchenongnam delegations have visited Long An over the past years, and engaged in various activities, contributing to promoting the friendship between youths of the two sides.

This year’s activities take place in Thu Thua district, mainly at Bo De Phuong Duy School and Thu Thua High School, until August 5.
