The achievements reaped by the Vietnamese sports sector have demonstrated the will and resolve of Vietnamese, contributing to promoting the country’s image, role and prestige, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has said.

The PM on July 13 had a working session with representatives from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and met with outstanding athletes, including those who are about to head to Japan for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Such achievements have inspired people to engage in sport activities, thus improving public health, he said, adding that the sector has played a role in strengthening the great national unity bloc as well as national construction and defence.

Vietnamese sports like men’s and women’s football, shooting, martial arts and gymnastics have affirmed their position in the regional and international arena, Chinh said.

The PM highlighted the strong development of mass sport movements, and due attention to sports for people with disabilities over the past time, saying all Vietnamese have equal access to sports.
