Voice of Vietnam (VOV) in collaboration with the Vietnamese Embassy in Indonesia and the Indonesian Embassy in Vietnam organized two writing contests with the theme "Finding out about President Ho Chi Minh's visit in Indonesia and President Soekarno in Vietnam". The release of Voice of Vietnam received by Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta on Tuesday (12/24) said that this activity was held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's visit to Indonesia and President Soekarno's visit to Vietnam and to welcome the 65 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Indonesia in 2020.

In his remarks during the presentation of prizes to the winners which took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, Tuesday (12/24), the Indonesian Ambassador to Vietnam, Ibnu Hadi said the contest was very relevant and should be known by the young generation of Indonesia and Vietnam.

"This event is very good because it has been exactly 60 years, this historical visit I think needs to be commemorated because by holding this, all generations can know, not only the older generation who experienced the visit but also the younger generation. So it is very relevant to remind the younger generation that the basis of the close relations between Indonesia and Vietnam and also to encourage cooperation in ASEAN was already carried out in 1959. So it's very relevant and very good, said Ibnu Hadi.

The writing contest themed "Finding out about President Ho Chi Minh's visit in Indonesia and President Soekarno’s visit in Vietnam" has been held in Indonesia and Vietnam. The organizing committee received a lot of writings from the people of Indonesia and Vietnam about this historic event.
