The ceremony is part of a two-day congress that brought together 445 delegates representing more than 25 million young Vietnamese in the country and abroad who have responded actively to the campaign initiated by the Party Politburo five years ago.

The event, organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee (HCMCYU), saw the presence of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, together with Politburo members and Secretaries of the Party Central Committee (PCC): Truong Thi Mai, Head of the PCC’s Commission for Mass Mobilisation; and Vo Van Thuong, Head of the PCC’s Commission for Communication and Education; and PCC members: Vu Duc Dam, Deputy Prime Minister and Hoang Binh Quan, Head of the PCC’s Commission for External Relations.

Speaking at the ceremony, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong hailed youth union organisations for their creative approaches in popularising the campaign.

He stressed the youth unions’ role in educating young people on morals, lifestyle and ideals, particularly the country’s fine traditions, patriotism, national pride and the voluntary and pioneering spirit.

The Party chief asked the union to help the Party assemble and train youngsters as well as build a young generation with political will, intellect and creativity to inherit the proud revolutionary cause of the Party and nation.

Describing it as a reliable reserve force of the Party, he stressed that the Party, State and people pin their hope on the HCMCYU and Vietnam’s younger generations. He added that they hope the union will improve its function and mission to train youngsters as vanguard soldiers that will uphold the flag of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh to the end.

The fourth congress on excellent youth studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example, held in Hanoi from August 28-29, sent a message to young people nationwide, calling on them to nurture their aspirations and to have a firm will in order to realise them, while continuously striving to become good citizens who benefit their families and society.
