The 2013 ASEAN-Japan Youth Festival opened in HCM City on November 14 with the participation of delegates joining the Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program (SSAYP) 2013.

Around 329 young delegates from ten ASEAN nations and Japan participated in folk games and a quiz on traditional culture and history of each nation and talked about what they experienced during the journey.

They enjoyed special performances by art troupes from different nations. Through a special program by Vietnamese artists they gained a better understanding of Vietnam’s land and people.

Nguyen Cao The from the Education and Information Department of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, said that his delegation wanted to give international friends an insight into the country’s traditional culture and its people’s daily life, sentiments and hospitality.
