In the spirit of mutual learning, the seminar received many important opinions from delegates to exchange experiences and cooperation contents between the youth unions of the two sides for implementation in the coming time. The issues discussed focused on difficulties and obstacles in the activities of the youth of the two countries regarding the movement development strategy, improving the quality of organization, attracting youth and children to the movement activities of the Union as well as organizing movements to promote economic development of each locality.
Speaking at the seminar, Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union Le Van Luong affirmed that the traditional friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos is a priceless common asset of both peoples.

To preserve and promote that precious tradition, in recent times, the Youth Unions of the four provinces of Nghe An, Xieng Khouang, Hua Phan, and Bolikhamxay have had many meaningful coordinated activities. This is clearly demonstrated through exchange activities, experience sharing, and the Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign.
Nghe An Provincial Youth Union always pays attention to and directs districts sharing the border with Laos such as Ky Son, Tuong Duong, Con Cuong, Anh Son, Que Phong, Thanh Chuong to establish youth volunteer teams to keep the border peaceful, organize exchange activities to establish twinning villages sharing the border...

At the seminar, representatives of the Lao People's Revolutionary Youth Union of the three provinces of Xieng Khouang, Hua Phan and Bolikhamxay also exchanged many meaningful contents. In particular, the comrades deeply thanked the Central Committee of the Communist Youth Union of Vietnam and Nghe An province for their attention, support and cooperation, especially in training cadres and youth work for Laos.
At the same time, it is hoped that in the coming time, Nghe An Provincial Youth Union will continue to pay attention and create more opportunities for the youth union to exchange, learn experiences, cooperate, transfer science and technology, train human resources, strengthen the friendly cooperation relationship between Lao and Vietnamese youth in particular to be more effective and deeper; contributing to the development of the special solidarity and friendship between the two peoples of Vietnam and Laos.
