The program, initiated in 1974, has seen Vietnam's participation since 1995. Its primary objective is to strengthen mutual understanding and friendship among young people from Japan and ASEAN countries. For each participant, this program offers a unique opportunity to explore and experience diverse cultures within the region, thus enhancing their capacity for international integration. The arrival of the Ship for Southeast Asian Youth Program in Ho Chi Minh City provides an excellent platform to introduce to international friends a generation of Ho Chi Minh City youth who embody the spirit of “Patriotism, Solidarity, Proactiveness, Sreativity, and Integration” in this new era of national development.
