They were among delegates to the fourth national congress for youths excelling in following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings between 2014 and 2016. Their achievements in studying, working and self-improvement have positively influenced society.

Addressing the ceremony, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong described the 445 delegates to the congress as “precious seeds” that represent over 25 million members of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union nationwide.

He said that the Party, State and people put their trust in the youth union and the youth of Viet Nam, expecting that the union will train young generations into pioneers of national development and defence.

Delegates include scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, farmers, workers, soldiers, students and public servants. They come from different ethnic groups and religions, as well as from overseas.
