HCM CITY (VNS)— Vietnamese youth aged from 16 to 25 living in HCM City and southern provinces have been invited to attend a slogan contest marking the 40th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties between Viet Nam and Australia.

Organisers said the contest would give participants a chance to take a deeper look on the Australian culture and the friendship between the two countries.

The contest, launched in HCM City on Wednesday by the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Association and the Viet Nam-Australia Friendship Association, will also offer an English playground for Vietnamese students.

Each contestant will be asked to produce a slogan in English with a maximum of 10 words and an interpretation of no more than 200 words featuring the friendship between Viet Nam and Australia.

Entries will be sent in until June 25.-VNS
