Contest on Vietnam-Cuba relations launched
(VOV) - The Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Association and Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) launched a contest on August 20 to learn about Cuba and mark the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
The contest running from August 24 to November 15, has taken place just after the US and Cuba have normalized relations and set up embassies in their respective country.
Therefore, the contest targets Vietnamese citizens studying and working both at home and abroad in order to provide current information in Cuba, as well as help Cuban people learn more about the deep affection Vietnamese people have for Cuba.
Vietnam-Cuba Friendship Association Vice President Pham Tien Tu said the award includes one first prize worth VND30 million, two second prizes (VND15 million), and two third prizes (VND10 million).
Ms. Ariadne Feo, third Secretary and Head of the Consular Department of the Cuba Embassy in Vietnam said she was very keen on the contest and expressed hope that the event will receive many high quality entries.
Outstanding entries will be publicized on mass media within Cuba, she noted.
