The Welcome Ceremony
Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet said: “Over the past 73 years, the Vietnamese Students’ Association has contributed greatly to the heroic history of our country, grown steadily and become a key force in many fields. In keeping with this tradition, DTU students will continue to make sustained efforts to follow Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts and morals in their lives, to become “Students of Five Merits,” knowledgeable and respectful of the cultural identity and traditions of Vietnam. They will all recognize the difficulties facing our country and be willing to take responsibility whenever needed. DTU students will become a driving force, establishing a solid foundation for a kinder, more talented, respectful and self-disciplined younger generation. In the new Industry 4.0 era, they must strive to study hard, engage in research and start up their own companies, for example.”
