Looking back at the youth movement in Nghe An since it absorbed the revolutionary ideology of leader Nguyen Ai Quoc and the Communist Party of Vietnam, it can be affirmed that the youth of Nghe An are absolutely loyal and ready to sacrifice themselves for the noble communist ideal. The Youth Union has truly become a powerful arm and a reliable reserve force of the Party, the government and the people.
