(VOVworld) - Doraemon, a famous Japanese manga character, is featured in a traffic safety campaign targeting Vietnamese children that was launched in Hanoi this week.

Doraemon is popular among children in Asia, including Vietnam, and has served as a symbol of traffic safety for decades in Japan. The “Doraemon with traffic safety in Vietnam” program aims to popularise effective ways Japan has conducted to educate children about traffic safety, thus reducing accidents in the country. As part of the drive, a slogan contest is open for students aged between six and 15 under the theme “Be careful on the way to school”. Others aged 16 and over can create slogans under the topic “For children’s safety” to vie for prizes.
