A memorandum of understanding on cooperation for the 2009-2012 period between Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCMCYU) in Hanoi and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region’s Communist Youth Union was signed in Hanoi on July 29.
The two sides agreed to exchange experiences in organising youth activities, facilitate young businessmen’s cooperation, intensify cultural and tourism cooperation, and assist Vietnamese and Chinese students studying in Guangxi and Hanoi.
They also agreed to conduct annual visits and exchanges, and to help youth organisations to cooperate in various other fields.
