He chaired a working session between the Government and the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in Hanoi on December 15 to review the implementation of the coordinating of regulations between the two sides and to discuss their future tasks.

 

He hailed young people’s contributions to the country’s socio-economic development, placing special emphasis on their role in maintaining social order and stability when the environmental pollution incident caused by Formosa occurred.

 

He noted the results of the coordination of regulations between the Government and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, especially in the creation of jobs for young people.

 

However, he pointed out that the youth union was slow to carry out a number of projects assigned by the Government, such as the one on supporting young working people and the other on developing young people-managed islands.

 

In the coming time, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union needs to pay heed to educating and encouraging young people to take a more active role in promoting socio-economic development and safeguarding security, defence and social order.

 

“Young people should take the lead in making renovations and launching start-ups to address the employment issue,” he said.

 

The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee was tasked with working with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment to map out a project on young people’s involvement in protecting the environment and responding to climate change.
