>>> Vietnam’s top ten outstanding youth of 2014 unveiled
Co-organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCMCYU) Central Committee and the Vietnam Young Talent Support Fund, the awards aim to honour young Vietnamese individuals living at home or abroad who have made outstanding achievements in the fields of academics, scientific research, labour and production, national defence and security, arts and culture, sports and social activities.
In 2014, the organising board received 141 nominations from 43 units, from which 20 outstanding individuals were selected to receive awards. The remaining ten of the final 20 also received the ‘Young promising faces of the year’ award at the ceremony.
Speaking at the event, President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Nguyen Thien Nhan, praised the outstanding achievements of the ten award winners, while urging them to continue to improve themselves so that they may contribute further to the national construction and defence.
The leader also asked HCMCYU and Vietnam Young Talent Support Fund to expand the awards ceremony to honour more prominent individuals in order to motivate Vietnamese youth at home and abroad to actively participate in patriotic movements and gain more outstanding achievements.
At the ceremony, the winners shared with the audience their ambitions and experiences on the path to realising their dreams.
