Speaking at the meeting, on the occasion of Vietnam Teachers' Day November 20, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh expressed his deepest gratitude to all generations of teachers, teachers and lecturers across the country, who have always devoted themselves day and night to the glorious and noble cause of "growing people" of our nation; and sent his regards to parents, beloved students and pupils across the country.
The Prime Minister pointed out that the tradition of studiousness, respect for teachers, and appreciation of talented people are profound humanistic values of our nation; remembering the upbringing of teachers is an advice imbued in folk songs and proverbs from the childhood of every person.
