Speaking at the congress, comrade Nguyen Thi Kim Chi - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Agencies Party Committee affirmed that over the past term, the Provincial Agencies Youth Union has achieved very valuable achievements in all aspects of its activities, increasingly better meeting the legitimate needs and aspirations of youth union members.

The Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Agencies Bloc also frankly pointed out a number of obstacles that prevent the youth of the bloc from fully promoting their inherent potential, strengths, and creativity.

Specifically, the age of participation in Union activities tends to increase, professional pressure is increasing, the Union of the Bloc still does not have many solutions to design activity content to suit the needs and characteristics of young cadres, civil servants and public employees today.

In addition, the Executive Committee has made many efforts in exploiting cyberspace to organize activities. However, this has not been really synchronized at the grassroots level, especially in grasping and orienting the ideology of union members and youth when using social networks; Integration skills, IT application level, and technology mastery, although having outstanding features, have not really spread throughout the Union.

To overcome the resistance and maximize the role of the youth union of the block, comrade Nguyen Thi Kim Chi hopes that the team of union members of the Provincial Agencies Block will nurture their aspirations and dare to realize their aspirations. Always push yourself to be creative to break through with the motto "Whatever is beneficial to the people, we must do our best to do, whatever is harmful to the people, we must avoid at all costs" according to Ho Chi Minh's thought.

In particular, it is necessary to closely follow the grassroots, listen more to the concerns and aspirations of the people to consolidate practical experience. From there, boldly advise the Party Committee, leaders of agencies and units on mechanisms and policies to successfully implement the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress; on the basis of applying Conclusion No. 14 of the Politburo on the policy of encouraging and protecting dynamic and creative cadres for the common good.

The Youth Union needs to become a true friend of the youth. In the new situation, each Youth Union officer needs to be proactive and promptly grasp the needs and aspirations of the youth, know what the youth need, and guide the youth to do useful work.

Taking care of the Youth Union is the Party's responsibility because if the Party wants to have a successor team, it needs to discover, care for, train, challenge, educate, and build a team of young cadres; create conditions for movement activities so that young cadres can mature from the practical revolutionary action movement. From that purpose, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Block and the Party Committees in the departments, branches, sectors, and mass organizations at the provincial level regularly assign tasks with specific work to challenge; listen together to overcome difficulties; participate together to feel; learn together to narrow the generation gap with the young generation.

Speaking at the congress, comrade Le Van Luong - Member of the Central Executive Committee of the Youth Union, Secretary of the Nghe An Provincial Youth Union, suggested that each youth union member needs to determine the right purpose, ideal, and motivation to strive. Faced with new challenges from reality, the youth union members need to unite and be creative to complete the assigned tasks well, truly be a typical example in carrying out difficult tasks, innovation, and breakthroughs of the agency and unit.

With the spirit of "Solidarity - courage - initiative - creativity - development", the Provincial Youth Union Secretary believes that the Provincial Agencies' Youth Union will continue to reap many successes, making worthy contributions to the successful implementation of the Resolution of the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2020 - 2025 term.
