The programme aims to introduce the politics, culture, history and diplomatic policies of Japan to Vietnamese youths, deepening trust and mutual understanding between the two countries.

The Japanese students are scheduled to visit the Youth International Cooperation Development Centre and the Viet Nam Judo Federation.
