In the heart of Hanoi, the nation pulsed with pride on May 13, 2025, as 500 young delegates, a kaleidoscope of talent from the length and breadth of Vietnam, gathered for the 10th National Uncle Ho's Outstanding Children's Congress. This central event, organized jointly by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and the Ho Chi Minh Young Pioneer Organization, paid tribute to these remarkable youths who had outshone their peers in the countrywide campaign championing President Ho Chi Minh's teachings.
Under the captivating theme, "Vietnamese Children Steadily Marching into the New Era," the congress was a triumph of unity, showcasing the vigor and dynamism of Vietnam's youth. State President Luong Cuong, in his inspiring speech, extolled these young visionaries as vital role models and ambassadors of inspiration, who would take the country's progress into the future.
Bagging the honor of representing some 16 million young pioneers across Vietnam, these impressive delegates had triumphed in the nationwide campaign that encouraged them to embody President Ho Chi Minh's five teachings. They were the epitome of patriotism, creativity, compassion, and determination, cultivated with the loving guidance of their teachers, youth leaders, parents, and fellow citizens.
The congress began with a moving respect-paying ceremony to the revered late President Ho Chi Minh, followed by visits to significant museums and institutions such as the Vietnam Military History Museum and the AI Centre at Vin University. The festive celebrations culminated in the presentation of the Kim Dong Award for the 2024-2025 school year.
Amidst the triumphs and accolades, the event also highlighted the deep-rooted affection and trust that President Ho Chi Minh had for children. He viewed them as the foundation and the future of the nation, entrusting them with the responsibility of carrying on his legacy and safeguarding Vietnam's advancement. President Cuong echoed these sentiments, praising the honored children as shining examples worthy of national pride.
In his rallying cry, President Cuong echoed President Ho Chi Minh's exultant vision that the future of the country – its prosperity and global standing – rests significantly on the education and nurturing of its youth. He implored these young stars to dare to dream audaciously, to steel their resolve, and to convert their dreams into reality through resilience and dedication.
Equipping themselves with wisdom, patriotism, a strong desire to contribute, and the confidence to seize the opportunities offered by the new era, the children were armed with the tools to conquer the challenges ahead.
In conclusion, President Cuong called on all stakeholders to redouble their commitment to the growth and well-being of the young generation. He urged them to usher in safe and nurturing environments and to lead by their example.
