International students sing to praise President Ho

HA NOI -- More than 30 international students shared the stage with Vietnamese students to praise President Ho Chi Minh during a concert in Ha Noi last night.

Entitled The Gioi Hat Ve Nguoi (The World Sing to Praise You), the show, which is hosted by the Vietnamese Students' Association, celebrated the 122nd birthday of the President on May 19.

Students from different countries, including Laos, Cuba, China, Russia, South Korea, Indonesia, Italy, Turkey and Nigeria, performed well-known songs about President Ho.

First held in 2010, the concert is a cultural exchange activity for foreign students who are living and studying in Viet Nam. It aims to raise their understanding of the country and the beloved leader of the Vietnamese nation. In addition, the concert will also help to boost the friendship and solidarity between Vietnamese and international students. -- VNS
