Addressing the gathering, Vice President Thinh said the increasing Vietnamese population was putting a lot of pressure on resources of the country and was also proving to be an impediment in the path of economic growth of the country.
Ms Thinh called upon all residents of the country to participate in the celebrations and consider the importance of controlling the country’s population growth.
The rally was organized in cooperation with the UN Population Fund. After the rally, a six-day photo exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of the partnership between Vietnam and UNFPA opened at 93 Dinh Tien Hoang St in Hanoi.
