He asked the Government, ministries, agencies and localities to continue fine-tuning mechanisms and policies and take specific actions to discover and nurture talents, motivating young and outstanding citizens to devote to the nation. The President wished that lecturers would step up innovation in education and scientific research and set bright examples for students to follow, and urged students to improve ethics and equip themselves with necessary skills to become outstanding, responsible and global citizens, contributing to national development. According to the State leader, Vietnam's economic growth model must gradually shift from reliance on ordinary investment and labour to innovation and high labour productivity. Technological advances like Internet-of-Things, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, smart robotics, 3D printing, mobile supercomputer and many others are bringing along both opportunities and challenges. Therefore, young generations must catch up with new trends to help Vietnam narrow the development gap with developed nations, he said./.
