“The family is the nucleus of society. There are many victims of drug crimes stemming from situations where the family lacks care and education, and is manipulated by bad guys. So, families should take care of and keep their children away from drugs. Please firmly say “No” to drug! Don't try drug even once! Every day, try to study, work hard, stay away from pitfalls, especially drugs. Practice to become good citizens and useful to the family and society.”

Prime Minister Chinh said he hopes that countries, international organizations, individuals, organizations and benefactors at home and abroad will continue to support and make practical and effective contributions to Vietnam’s drug prevention and control.
