Mang noted with satisfaction the fine development of the relationship between HCM City and Lao localities, and said despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic the VUFO’s HCM City chapter has organized a number of youth exchanges between Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to promote friendship and mutual understanding between the three countries involved.
