Dear comrades!

The congresses of the Youth Union at all levels leading up to the 12th National Youth Union Congress are taking place at a time of special significance. The goals and directions of the 13th National Party Congress, together with the current youth issues, require the efforts of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union to truly be a reliable reserve force of the Party, a reliable companion of Vietnamese youth in the cause of industrialization, modernization of the country and increasingly deep international integration. The goals and tasks of the Youth Union and youth movement in the period of 2022 - 2027 presented by the 17th Provincial Youth Union Executive Committee at the Congress have seriously absorbed the direction of the Central Youth Union Executive Committee, closely following the conditions of the province and the Resolution of the 18th Provincial Party Congress; in particular, there have been specific solutions of the Youth Union participating in the journey to realize "Lam River Aspiration"In the vision to 2025, Nghe An province will become a fairly developed province in the Northern region and by 2030, it will become a fairly developed province in the whole country.

At this forum, I would like to discuss some more issues for interested comrades to discuss and determine implementation solutions.

The first, it is necessary to pay special attention to propaganda and education work, to arouse pride, love, responsibility, and aspiration to contribute among young people in realizing "Lam River Aspiration”. It is necessary to continue to do a good job of political and ideological education, raise awareness, improve political capacity, promote learning and following Uncle Ho in the young generation. Diversify forms of legal education suitable for each group of youth; promote the value of red addresses and historical relics; at the same time propagate and encourage positive factors so that young people have a sense of mastery, always be confident in themselves, maintain faith, love to learn, seek progress, strive to assert themselves; inherit the tradition and heroic spirit of their ancestors - the spirit of a sacred land of talented people, the homeland of the "Nghe Tinh Soviet" movement, the homeland of beloved Uncle Ho.

MondayIn implementing movements, it is necessary to establish specific, creative and feasible solutions; always be ready to volunteer to take on new and difficult tasks assigned by higher-level Party committees and unions; pay attention to developing human resources and taking the lead in implementing socio-economic development goals.

The Youth Union needs to consider, think, and implement many solutions to help young people cultivate knowledge, practice, improve professional qualifications, master science and technology, build a modern industrial style, and work skills in an international integration environment. Digital transformation is an inevitable trend; Dynamic, creative, and sensitive to science and technology, young people are expected to be the leading force in digital transformation; therefore, the Youth Union needs to raise the flag of digital transformation. I suggest that all levels of the Youth Union must be strong, decisive, and quickly implement digital transformation solutions in their work, starting from the management of union members, union affairs, and union activities, to organizing movements and activities; promoting the effectiveness of community digital transformation working groups; gradually create an environment to promote young people to take the lead in implementing digital transformation in the fields of healthcare, education, agriculture, transportation and logistics... towards building digital government, digital economy and digital society.

In addition, the Youth Union needs to step up propaganda work, promote its role and responsibility as a bridge to support and accompany young people in finding jobs as well as connecting young people to work in local industrial parks, to work for a limited period of time abroad, especially the rural labor force. Continue to pay attention to the establishment, maintenance and replication of economic development linkage models among young people such as: youth cooperatives, youth cooperatives; youth economic clubs; expand and improve the operational efficiency of the Youth Start-up Support Fund; encourage young people to develop economic models in the service sector, based on the application of scientific and technological achievements, towards building a green economy, a circular economy, and an environmentally friendly one.

Tuesday,Focus on implementing well the solutions to build a strong Youth Union in terms of ideology, politics, organization and action, worthy of being a reliable reserve force of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Implement well the breakthrough that the Nghe An Provincial Youth Union Congress proposed, that is "Improve the quality and standards of union cadres at all levels to meet task requirements.”. Continue to implement solutions to improve the quality of union members, manage union members online; effectively and substantially implement the Union member training program. Continue to develop and implement breakthrough solutions to improve the quality of grassroots Unions; improve the effectiveness of Union activities in residential areas, in enterprises and specific areas.

Many creative models such as exchanging scrap for trees, washing cars to raise funds, cultivating fallow fields to raise funds for volunteer activities are carried out in many localities. Photo courtesy of Thanh Quynh

Promote the core political role of the Youth Union in organizing the Youth Union and its collective member organizations; diversify solutions to gather young people, especially religious youth, working youth, and youth in urban areas. Provincial Youth Union chapters need to uphold the sense of responsibility, properly and effectively perform the functions of supervision and social criticism... Persistently and resolutely implement solutions to improve the quality of outstanding union members to introduce to the Party for consideration of admission. Seriously and effectively carry out the task of protecting the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against and refuting the distorted arguments of hostile forces with the motto "Correct awareness, sufficient information, quick action, strong connection, wide spread".
