On the afternoon of October 10, the Provincial Youth Union Standing Committee coordinated with the National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council Standing Committee to organize a conference to meet and greet between National Assembly deputies, Provincial People's Council deputies and children of Nghe An province in 2024.

Attending the conference were Ms. Vo Thi Minh Sinh - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province, delegate of the 15th National Assembly.

The conference was co-chaired by members of the Provincial Party Executive Committee: Thai Thi An Chung - Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Nguyen Nhu Khoi - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council and Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy - Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union.

Also attending were delegates of the 15th National Assembly, delegates of the 18th Provincial People's Council, representatives of leaders of provincial departments, branches and sectors and 110 youth representing 1.5 million youth in the province.

Pay special attention

Over the years, the Party and State have always paid special attention to youth, adolescent and children work. At the Central level, the Politburo issued Directive No. 28 dated December 25, 2023 on strengthening the care, education and protection of children to meet the requirements of developing a prosperous and happy country. The National Assembly and the Government have also issued many laws, projects and programs related to youth and children work.

Most recently, the Central Youth Union and the Central Council of Young Pioneers organized the 2nd "Children's National Assembly" mock session - 2024 at Dien Hong Hall, National Assembly House with the participation of 306 "Children's National Assembly delegates" from 63 provinces and cities across the country.

In Nghe An province, in recent years, the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and Provincial Fatherland Front Committee have issued many policies, directives, and resolutions on youth, adolescent, and children work.

In recent times, the Youth Union and Youth Union members of Nghe An province have upheld revolutionary traditions, promoted youth, intelligence and enthusiasm, achieved many important results, and actively contributed to the great political, economic, cultural and social achievements of the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An.

Speaking at the conference, comrade Thai Thi An Chung - Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation emphasized: After nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation process, along with economic and social development, Vietnam has achieved quite comprehensive achievements in caring for, educating and protecting children's rights, which have been recognized and highly appreciated by the United Nations.

However, there are still many issues that make National Assembly deputies and People's Councils very concerned, such as the situation where youth and children in some remote districts still face difficulties in accessing education services, health care, and ensuring nutrition; Children are still subject to violence, abuse, and traffic accidents, drowning, and injuries.

School violence, new generation cigarettes, stimulants, and toxic foods have been negatively affecting children's physical and mental health. Ensuring "Safety on the Internet" for teenagers in the current context is still facing many difficulties. Many people are taking advantage of social networks to insult the honor of others, going against the good customs of the Vietnamese people, causing a part of the youth to have wrong thinking...

"Therefore, at this conference, the National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council hope to continue listening to children express their thoughts, wishes and desires on related issues that affect them so that the National Assembly Delegates, the Provincial People's Council, local agencies and departments can study and issue policies and laws to resolve issues related to children in the coming time," said comrade Thai Thi An Chung.

The conference is an opportunity for voters who are union members, youth, and children to participate in direct exchanges with all levels and sectors at a conference that is a meeting with voters on topics and target groups according to the working plan of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation and is an important event showing the special attention of the provincial leaders to the work of educating, caring for, and protecting children and youth.

Do better in youth and children work

At the conference, young voters raised questions about their concerns, hoping that authorities at all levels and sectors would have directions to resolve and create conditions for them to promote their youth's strength to contribute to the construction and development of their homeland.

These are cultural and safety issues on the internet; measures to prevent unhealthy and offensive advertisements that affect children; pressure to take extra classes; bringing folk songs into schools; school violence...

At the same time, opinions suggested that the province should have policies and mechanisms for using and promoting human resources with creative capacity, applying information technology and digital applications to perform professional tasks in current state agencies; the issue of supporting jobs for rural workers; managing workers abroad to avoid fraud and protect Vietnamese workers abroad; difficulties in playgrounds and sports facilities, etc.

Some opinions of young people expressed the wish that all levels and sectors need to have mechanisms and policies to change and improve the learning, training, working, production and startup environment for young people.

The suggestions of the youth were listened to by the leaders of the departments and branches, discussed and answered the specific questions of the youth and proposed directions and solutions in the coming time. The National Assembly and Provincial People's Council delegates also compiled urgent contents to propose to the levels and branches for consideration and resolution.
