Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung told the ceremony in Hanoi on Wednesday: “In the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution and globalization, countries all over the world are seeking their competitive advantages of high-quality human resources. The competition will be a good chance for Vietnam to learn and exchange world-class vocational skills so as to improve Vietnamese workers’ skills and increase national labor productivity and competitiveness. We hope that the competitors, who will play a role of young ambassadors representing millions of Vietnamese young people, will be self-confident and make greater efforts to become winners.”
