Youth union urged to act as pioneer in national development

President of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front Nguyen Thien Nhan has said leaders and member of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union must take on a pioneering role in advancing the country forward.

 

The front leader said that the youth union was a valuable political asset of the country, so therefore it must always take the lead in encouraging young people to participate in national construction and defence.

 

He also asked the union to pay more attention to helping young people start up business so that the number of young enterprises could soon reach a total of 3.6 million.

 

In the first eight months of the year, the two organisations have collaborated on a wide range of social movements such as those related to building new rural areas and civilised urban areas, and the movement to encourage Vietnamese people to use local products, among others.
