Minister Le Minh Hoan said we must "Start asking why?". According to him, the person who starts asking questions is the one who begins the journey of knowledge.

“When people know how to ask questions, they are also motivated to seek answers and knowledge summarized in books,” Minister Le Minh Hoan emphasized.

Taking the story of a Japanese man who was drafted into the army and became the first person to hear the Japanese Emperor's declaration of surrender in 1945, Minister Le Minh Hoan sent a message to the young generation in the agricultural sector.

“That young man realized that he had a role to play in Japan’s future when he heard the announcement of surrender. We here, the young people in the agricultural sector, need to have the same mindset. What is your role in the future of Vietnam?”, he added.
