The Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union has delegated a group of 14 Vietnamese youth representatives to participate in the Republic Day of India 2025 Program and the Youth Exchange with the National Cadet Corps of India. Leading the delegation is Mr. Nguyen Thanh Dang Khoa, Lecturer at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Dong Nai University of Technology, who also serves as Vice President of the Dong Nai Provincial Student Association and President of the DNTU Student Association.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Dang Khoa’s role in this event extends beyond that of the delegation leader; he also serves as a vital bridge in strengthening youth cooperation between Vietnam and India. With his extensive experience and dedication to student activities, Mr. Khoa, together with the delegation, will represent the image of a youthful, dynamic Vietnam, ready for integration and global connection.

The program takes place from January 15 to 30, 2025, featuring a series of significant activities, including:

• Courtesy visits to India’s top leaders—the President, Prime Minister, and senior military officials.
• Participation in the 76th Republic Day Parade in New Delhi.
• Cultural and artistic exchanges with Indian youth and international delegates.
• Promoting the image of Vietnam to regional and global friends.
• Visits to renowned cultural and historical landmarks, including the Taj Mahal—one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

After passing a rigorous selection process conducted by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the Vietnamese delegation consists of outstanding, youthful, and dynamic individuals who are ready to contribute. As the head of the delegation, Nguyen Thanh Dang Khoa carries the mission of connecting, leading, and promoting the image of a modern Vietnam rich in cultural identity to the international community.

Mr. Khoa shared: “Through this program, we aim to showcase a youthful, vibrant, and friendly Vietnam, contributing to fostering friendship, mutual understanding, and trust between the youth of both countries.”

Over the years, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Indian youth organizations have maintained a strong cooperative relationship through exchange programs and delegation visits, strengthening the bond between the young generations of the two nations. This year’s participation of the Vietnamese delegation, under the leadership of Nguyen Thanh Dang Khoa, is expected to further open up broader opportunities for future collaboration.
