29 Vietnamese youths to join regional ship

A two-week training course for 29 young Vietnamese who will attend the 37th Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program (SSEAYP) 2010 opened in Hanoi on Monday.
The Vietnamese youth, together with young people from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia will join the program to be held in Japan between October 25 and December 16.
As planned, the Vietnamese delegation, led by Phan Thi Thuy Tram, Deputy Director of the Northern Investment Promotion Centre, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, will organize the “Vietnam Day” on Dec. 5.
This year’s program, themed “Youth Participation in Social Activities,” will offer the participants opportunities to analyze their role in the socio-economic development of each country and discuss activities to improve their involvement.
SSEAYP is a regional youth exchange program, drawing the participation of ten ASEAN members and Japan.
Starting in 1974 following the initiative of the governments of Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, the program helps to strengthen friendship and mutual understanding between young Japanese and Southeast Asian people.
