On behalf of the Party, State and Government leaders, the Prime Minister acknowledged and commended the efforts, results and achievements of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Vietnamese youth in scientific research, application of technology in production and life, promoting the innovation ecosystem and participating in digital transformation in all fields. This is not only a proud result but also a strong motivation for the young generation to continue to contribute to the sustainable development of the country.

However, the Prime Minister made it clear that these are only initial results, we absolutely must not be subjective, satisfied, or intoxicated with the results achieved; there is still much work to do ahead.

The Prime Minister stated that in order to encourage young people to proactively and actively participate in the development of science and technology, innovation, startups and national digital transformation, in the coming time, the Government and the Prime Minister will focus on directing 3 key tasks:

The first is to perfect institutions, mechanisms and policies to support young people in developing science and technology, innovation, startups and digital transformation; considering this as the bottleneck of bottlenecks and the breakthrough of breakthroughs.

The second is to develop science and technology infrastructure, innovation, digital transformation, improve the business investment environment, support and create favorable conditions for young people to participate deeply in science and technology development, innovation, startups and national digital transformation.

Third is to strongly invest in developing high-quality young human resources, especially in cutting-edge technology fields.

In order for Vietnamese Youth to become the pioneering and core force in the country's digital age, the Prime Minister requested the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and the Vietnam Youth Union to launch practical, effective, and deeply humane emulation movements with specific programs, plans, tasks, and solutions to further promote the role and contributions of Youth; focusing on "Three Pioneers" and "Six Key Points" (as stated by the Prime Minister at the Award Ceremony of "Outstanding Young Vietnamese Faces of 2024" on the evening of March 23, 2025).

The Prime Minister presented flowers and encouraged delegates who are disabled but have overcome difficulties and excelled in work and study.

The Prime Minister stated 3 "order" requirements for Vietnamese youth:

Firstly, Vietnamese youth have said they will do it, have committed to do it, have made efforts and must make more efforts, have been determined and must be more determined, have been resolute and must be more resolute, have been pioneers and must be more pioneers. Developing science and technology, innovation and digital transformation are not only tasks but also opportunities for young people to demonstrate their mettle, intelligence and aspiration to contribute to building a strong, civilized and prosperous country.

Second, Vietnamese youth must have creative thinking, take decisive and strong actions, and realize their aspirations through specific and effective products and projects. Make good use of opportunities, and respond to policies appropriately, flexibly and effectively.

Third, Vietnamese youth must promote the spirit of "not being arrogant in victory, not being discouraged in defeat"; must have the mindset of "turning nothing into something, turning difficulty into ease, turning the impossible into the possible". Young people should keep "a pure heart - a bright mind - great ambitions", think deeply and do great things, look far and wide; value time, intelligence, and timely decisiveness; strive to overcome their own limits to constantly contribute to their homeland and country.

Recalling the advice of beloved President Ho Chi Minh: "Young people will be the masters of the country. We must study forever and progress forever to be truly young", the Prime Minister emphasized that Vietnamese youth are the future masters of the country, 20 million young people will decide the position and stature of Vietnam in the digital age.

The Prime Minister hopes and believes that the Vietnamese youth of the new era, with the spirit of "self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-strengthening, and national pride", will continue to strive to rise up strongly, overcome all difficulties and challenges, continue the glorious tradition of previous generations, and continue to write new heroic pages of the nation's history.
