From mid-January 2026, an atmosphere of preparation was noticeable throughout the Lao Cai district. According to the plan of the Lao Cai District People’s Committee, a visual propaganda system with banners and slogans in Vietnamese and Chinese was implemented in key areas such as Lao Cai International Border Crossing, Nguyen Hue Street, Coc Lieu Bridge and Hoang Lien Street.
The slogans “Friendly Neighborhood, Comprehensive Cooperation, Long-term Stability, Looking to the Future” are prominently displayed along the main streets, reflecting the spirit of hospitality and strengthening solidarity between the people of the two border regions.
A highlight of this year’s program is the exchange between young people and young entrepreneurs. The Standing Committee of the Lao Cai Provincial Youth Association has issued a detailed plan for sports competitions and friendly discussions.
We developed early and proactive plans, especially for the badminton friendly matches at the provincial multi-purpose hall in the Cam Duong district. There were three competition categories: men’s doubles, mixed doubles and women’s doubles, in which youth from Lao Cai and Chau Hong Ha took part.
Mr. Hoang Manh Linh, deputy secretary of Lao Cai Provincial Youth Association, said
In addition, the Provincial Youth Association, in collaboration with the Association of Young Entrepreneurs, has organized a program to meet and exchange experiences between young entrepreneurs from both sides. Logistics, translation services and the mobilization of over 500 youth association members to support the event have already been completed to create a lively atmosphere and promote friendship.
The cultural program on the evening of February 2nd in Lao Cai promises to be a true festival of music and light. Currently, singers and actors from the Lao Cai Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe are busy rehearsing. Numerous performances that showcase Vietnam’s rich cultural identity and harmoniously blend with the host country’s culture have already been staged and performed.
According to the plan, the series of events will extend over two days. On February 2, the following activities will take place in the Cam Duong and Lao Cai districts of Lao Cai Province in Vietnam: a friendly badminton match, an exchange between youth and entrepreneurs, New Year’s greetings and a meeting between the leaders of both sides, and an evening of cross-border cultural exchange. On February 3, the Lao Cai delegation will participate in exchange activities and New Year greetings in Hekou County, Yunnan Province, China.
The arts program promises to be a highlight of the Spring Festival and the Lao Cai (Vietnam) – Honghe (China) Border Folk Festival in 2026.
Preparations, from entry formalities for the delegation to ensuring security and order, health care and preparing diplomatic gifts, were carried out in close coordination by the relevant authorities to ensure that the exchange program is a complete success.
