Le Quoc Phong, Secretary of the HCM City Youth Union, says 700 young people will participate in the programme’s events, including opening and closing ceremonies, art performances and in-group discussions.
About 160 families will join the home-stay programme, in which each family will play host to two SSEAYP delegates.
The event aims to strengthen friendship and mutual understanding among the youths of SEA countries and Japan, as well as helping them understand more about Vietnam’s land and people.
It is expected to improve local young people’s international communication skills, broaden knowledge and share experience in youth activities with foreign delegates.
