President hosts reception for 100 outstanding students

HA NOI — One hundred outstanding students had the chance to meet State President Nguyen Minh Triet in Ha Noi yesterday.

The President held a special reception for the students, who were all winners of the Hoa Trang Nguyen prize, which honours students with outstanding study records.

The students included winners of international Olympiads and national contests as well as those who topped entrance exams to universities and colleges across the nation.

President Triet said he was delighted with the excellent records the students had obtained and praised them for overcoming difficulties they met in life to bring fame to their families and the nation as well.

On the occasion, the President expressed his thanks to teachers and educators for making valuable contributions to training the nation's youth.

Dinh Minh Anh, who won a gold medal at the International Physics Olympiad, Nguyen Thi Linh Chi, who bagged the top prize at the national literature competition and Tang Van Binh, who topped the entrance exam to the Ha Noi Foreign Trade University, vowed, on behalf of all the students there, to become useful citizens.

The students received their prizes earlier on the same day at a ceremony co-organised by the Party Central Committee's Education and Information Commission and the Tan Tao Group. — VNS
