Through two days of exciting and engaging activities, students were able to experience, exchange, learn from each other, and affirm their talents and unique personalities in each field and profession they were trained in.

Mr. Hoang Dao Cuong - Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism - said that the young generation, including students, always hold a particularly important position in the country's development.

"The program is not only a political and cultural event but also an inspirational space spreading the spirit of national solidarity.

This is a playground for young people to share their dreams and affirm the value of Vietnamese national identity in the new era because ethnic minority students are the embodiment of aspirations.

Young people not only need knowledge and skills, but also need to preserve the character and cultural soul of the nation. Master the digital space, cultural space and startup space, enter the modern world with traditional costumes and the motherland language...", Mr. Hoang Dao Cuong advised.

On this occasion, the organizing committee also awarded 30 Vu A Dinh scholarships (16 university scholarships worth 1.5 million VND/scholarship, 14 college scholarships worth 1 million VND/scholarship) to excellent ethnic minority students.
