Although assessing that Covid-19 is having a negative impact on our country's socio-economy, the Prime Minister said that this is also an opportunity for the Vietnamese Youth Union to demonstrate its will, pioneering spirit, and aspiration to rise up, not only in fighting the pandemic but in all aspects of socio-economic life. Therefore, the Prime Minister emphasized that fighting the pandemic and dealing with its consequences are the major issues this year that the youth of the whole country need to join hands in and raise the question: "How is starting a business during Covid-19 and after Covid-19 for young people? What is the Youth Union movement in the context of Covid-19?".
The Prime Minister highly appreciated First Secretary of the Central Youth Union Le Quoc Phong for having an online dialogue with the youth of the whole country tomorrow, on the occasion of the "birthday" of the Youth Union, with the theme of Aspiration of Vietnamese Youth and the wish that the youth must always be the pioneering force, leading the way, leading the country forward.
