More than 40 youth representatives, experts, and scholars from China and Vietnam attended the event. Young people from both countries reflected on their shared journey of hard work, renewed their friendly ties, and pooled youthful strength to deepen China-Vietnam people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and promote the continued sound development of bilateral relations.

The "China-Vietnam Youth Relations Survey Report" was released. Based on more than 4,000 valid questionnaires and in-depth interviews with nearly 100 Vietnamese students in China, the report reviewed Vietnamese youth's current understanding of China-Vietnam relations, focused on the practical needs of young people in areas such as economic and trade innovation, education and study tours, and new media communication, and explored practical pathways for young people to serve as a bridge for people-to-people friendly exchanges.

During the youth roundtable dialogue session, Chinese and Vietnamese youth representatives expressed their views on topics including the Long March spirit and red culture, the integration of culture, tourism, science and innovation, and new media communication, and looked ahead to the practical directions for exchanges and cooperation between the youth of the two countries.
