Lao and Cambodian students compete in Vietnamese speech contest about President Ho Chi Minh

On May 17, Friendship School 80 (Son Tay town, Hanoi city) organized a Vietnamese speech contest for Lao and Cambodian students with the theme "Uncle Ho - an immense love", celebrating the 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2025). The contest aims to help international students understand more deeply about the life, ideology, morality and simple but great lifestyle of Uncle Ho. This is also a useful playground, contributing to fostering love for the Vietnamese language, strengthening solidarity among the youth of the three countries of Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia.

The competition had 14 teams representing 14 classes of international students. The teams went through two rounds: greeting and speaking. Each team brought profound content and rich forms of expression such as: presentations, poetry recitation, storytelling, singing, dancing, chanting, etc.

As a result, the international student teams of class A6 and class A3 won first prize with outstanding performances in terms of content, emotion and language skills.
