At the conference, delegates also frankly pointed out some shortcomings and limitations such as: The advisory and operational guidance work of the Youth Volunteer Force Command and the leaders of some Youth Volunteer units was sometimes not decisive, lacked initiative, and was not timely. The progress of dissolving the Youth Volunteer General Teams was still slow. The process of advising and proposing to superiors on the unit's activities was not proactive or regular. The updating of new legal regulations was sometimes not timely, leading to a reactive approach in the implementation of tasks.

In his concluding remarks at the conference, Comrade Tran Linh, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Nghe An Provincial Youth Union, praised and acknowledged the efforts of the Provincial Youth Volunteer Force in contributing to the successful completion of the province's key political tasks and priorities in 2024.

In the coming period, the Youth Volunteer units need to continue to promote their role as a vanguard force, work creatively, strive to overcome limitations and shortcomings in 2024, and effectively fulfill the force's mission in the new situation.
