A contest on knowledge about the heroic,
thousand-year old city of Thang Long-Hanoi was launched in Vientiane on November

Speaking at the ceremony, Editor-in-chief of Hanoi Moi Newspaper Ho Quang Loi
laid stress on the national scale of the contest which is expected to conclude
in October, 2010 in coincide with the 1000-year anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
The contest, which is first being launched outside Vietnam, will motivate
participants to learn more about the history of the ancient city of Thang Long,
now Hanoi, and about Vietnamese people, Loi said.
The contest will also be a chance for Vietnamese at home and abroad to express
their patriotism for their fatherland, he added.
According to Editor-in-chief Loi, the deployment of the contest in Laos is an
important event, contributing to increasing the special friendship and
comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos.
Also on November 4, representatives from Hanoi Moi Newspaper and New Vientiane

bilateral cooperation between the two newspapers through the exchange of visits,
personnel training and the provision of equipment and technology.
