On August 2nd, in Hanoi, the Party Central Committee Commission of Popularization and Education held the first awards ceremony with 96 candidates who won a prize at a multiple choice contest on the history of the special ties between Vietnam and Laos on the Internet.
The contest was launched in Hanoi in April 2012 and in Vientiane in June 2012.
After nearly four months, the contest drew the participation of nearly 150,000 people.
According to Truong Minh Tuan, deputy head of the Party Central Committee Commission of Popularization and Education, with great significance as well as special marks in the history of the special ties between Vietnam and Laos, the contest attracted not only people who experience hardship but also young people, especially students at universities, cadres, soldiers and people of all walks in the society. The contest also drew the participation of Lao students in Vietnam.
The contest has also been carried out in both countries in writing. Entries must demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of the special Vietnam-Laos ties in the past and at present and the role of predecessors of the two countries, including President Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam and Presidents Cayson Phomvihan and Souphanouvong of Laos, in developing this close knit bond.
The contest provides a good chance for the two Parties and States to disseminate information and educate their people, particularly the young generations, about their special ties./.
