Speaking at the awarding ceremony of the exhibition, Mr. Nguyen Ba Kien, member of the Permanent Bureau of the Committee of National Family Safety, Chief Editor of Traffic Newspaper, expressed joy and gratitude: "I have directly seen the work the students perform and I am extremely pleased that their perspective on and knowledge of traffic safety is relatively sufficient. The knowledge is a platform for students to pay attention when in traffic and to protect themselves. I hope that each of the students who have been set as examples will continue to be actively engaged in traffic safety. I also hope that we can maintain meaningful activities in the next semester, in order to spread the spirits to other students of Hanoi in particular and of Vietnam in general. "

Mr. Nguyen Ba Kien, member of the Permanent Bureau of the Committee of National Family Safety, Chief Editor of Traffic Newspaper, spoke at the ceremony.

It can be said, through the exhibiton of the safety of traffic, the school has created an opportunity for Amsers to have an opportunity to express themselves, to learn, to practice, and to raise awareness about traffic safety. A developing country only develops when the country is comprehensive in all aspects and when traffic safety significantly contributes to the country of civilization and modernity. That is the idea that the exhibition wants to encourage. We hope that the students will become more positive and more proactive in traffic issues in order to protect the welfare of themselves, their families and the society.
