Speaking at the warm and friendly meeting, Minister Nguyen Van Hung conveyed the best wishes of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to the entire delegation. The Minister said that, with the authorization of the Prime Minister, the Minister had gone to Thailand from December 8 to attend the SEA Games Opening Ceremony. Information about the teams' competition process was continuously updated by the Minister through the mass media.
The Minister expressed that due to conditions, the meeting could not have all members of the Sports Delegation. "This is a meeting, although small in scope but of great significance, in addition to showing the attention of the leaders of the Party, State, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Vietnamese Sports Delegation also welcomed the Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand and reporters from news agencies to attend, report and encourage the competitive spirit of the whole delegation.
The Minister hopes that the coaches and athletes will strive to fulfill their promise to the Prime Minister before departure, bringing joy and pride to fans and people across the country.
The 33rd SEA Games is the largest sports event in the region, and is now the 33rd edition. Vietnam has had the honor of hosting and organizing the event twice, and in the two most recent Games, we have led the Games, which is a testament to the efforts of coaches and athletes as well as the right direction in sports development.
From the extensive development of mass sports movements as a foundation for high-performance sports to the policy of developing strong sports, aiming at the Asian Games and Olympic arenas to keep up with the general development of regional, continental and world sports.
Emphasizing that sports are not only about training health and improving achievements, but also a bridge to spread messages about Vietnam to international friends, contributing to promoting culture and tourism, and boosting the overall development of the country's economy, the Minister affirmed that in recent years, the team of sports people have absorbed this viewpoint and Vietnamese sports have achieved many remarkable achievements.
The Minister emphasized that sports achievements must go from low to high, through regional arenas before approaching continental and world arenas. The Minister hopes that the Vietnamese Sports Delegation must be very determined, compete to win, not only to improve achievements but also to represent the flag and colors of the Fatherland. "Each officer and coach competing at the SEA Games not only performs well in their professional duties but is also a cultural ambassador, promoting the image of the country, a friendly and hospitable destination, the image of resilient and determined Vietnamese people", the Minister said and hoped that when competing, each athlete would fan the "fire" of patriotism and national pride to clarify the good nature of the Vietnamese people.
The Minister also appreciated the Vietnam Sports Administration and related units for their careful preparation for the Vietnam Sports Delegation. The Minister reminded each coach and athlete of the attention of the Party and State leaders; the support and follow-up of the people, fans, and reporters of news agencies. That is a great encouragement and motivation for the athletes and coaches.
The Minister also hoped that the entire delegation would overcome difficulties, together with the Organizing Committee and friends from countries in the region, to contribute to the overall success of the Games. The Minister said that the 33rd SEA Games took place in a difficult context, so the coaches and athletes of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation should join hands to express the message of peace, solidarity, and friendship for a sustainable and prosperous ASEAN community.
On behalf of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Sports Department, Head of the Vietnamese Sports Delegation at the 33rd SEA Games Nguyen Hong Minh expressed the joy and sincere thanks of the entire delegation for the attention of Minister Nguyen Van Hung.
It can be said that the visit and encouragement of Minister Nguyen Van Hung has added strength and confidence for Vietnamese athletes to step forward and achieve the highest results in upcoming competitions.
