The event drew the participation of 1,800 delegates representing armed forces, workers, Vietnamese overseas and foreigners. According to Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, the role model movement should go hand in hand with the campaign to follow President Ho Chi Minh's moral example.
He asked every Vietnamese citizen to improve their performance and to make the movement a part of their everyday lives. The prime minister said one of the objectives of the campaign was to help the country overcome difficulties and challenges to achieve its political and socio-economic targets.
