The city has received a total of nearly 2,000 dossiers registered directly and online, and already selected a total of nearly 900 candidates aged between 18 and 25 years to interview.

As many as 260 qualified volunteers will be selected to join activities chaired by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry within the framework of AELW.

They will be provided with training programmes held by the APEC National Committee in mid-October.

The event is expected to welcome leaders from 21 member economies along with nearly 4,000 foreign and local reporters.
