Launching in May 2025, “Talent Rendezvous” is a brand-new music competition from VTV, featuring a panel of three of Vietnam’s top music figures: singer Ho Ngoc Ha, singer Truc Nhan, and composer Huy Tuan. The program promises to be even more exciting with the collaboration and creative guidance of directors and production crew from China Media Group (CMG).
For years, the media cooperation between VTV and CMG has been recognized as an effective exchange channel, contributing to the consolidation and deepening of the traditional friendship between the two countries. Notably, the cooperation projects launched in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and China, and the Vietnam–China Year of People-to-People Exchange, are politically, diplomatically, and culturally significant. These initiatives help realize the shared visions of top leaders of both nations and foster mutual understanding through various television and cultural products.
At the VTV–CMG Media Cooperation Launch Ceremony held on April 14 to mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties and the Year of People-to-People Exchange, both sides agreed to strongly promote the exchange of television content. The aim is to present works that reflect cultural depth, national identity, and significant development achievements. Priority will be given to documentarie, television series, and special reports on history, landmarks, people, and innovation will be prioritized. These initiatives help deepen mutual understanding, inspireempathy and respect, and strengthen the bond between two long-standing Asian cultures.

China Media Group (CMG) and Vietnam Television (VTV) are both leading producers of cultural, artistic, and entertainment programs in their respective countries. While CMG is renowned for its Spring Festival Gala — a grand artistic celebration marking the Lunar New Year for a nation of over 1.4 billion people — VTV also delivers major productions such as “Spring Melody”, a vibrant musical showcase that has become a cherished television tradition during the Tet holiday. The collaboration between CMG and VTV is therefore expected to bring breakthroughs in production quality and enhance the artistic experience for television audiences.
