The General Secretary said that with a passionate heart, a creative spirit, a thirst for learning and a burning desire, young people are always the leading force in carrying out revolutionary tasks.

The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union has successfully completed the glorious mission assigned by the Party and the State, truly becoming a revolutionary organization of young communists, a reliable reserve force of the Party, a shock force of the revolution, and a socialist school for youth.

The Youth Union organization is increasingly consolidated. The number and quality of union members are increasingly improved. The large, young, professionally qualified and experienced Youth Union cadres have become a reliable source of successor cadres for the Party, the State and our unions at all levels.

The General Secretary shook hands with a Vietnamese Heroic Mother.

"The level of our cadres is improving day by day. The young generation today is trained very early, going through a very systematic training process in school and practical work. The level of cadres now is very different from before," the General Secretary shared.

At the 11th Congress, the General Secretary noted and requested the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union to pay attention to overcoming the situation of "insipid Party", "dry Union", "distance from politics". Up to now, the General Secretary has realized that a step has been taken to overcome this.

The General Secretary said that the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union has made many efforts to innovate its content and methods of operation, especially in educating revolutionary ideals, fostering ethics and a healthy lifestyle for the young generation....

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the General Secretary commended and congratulated the proud results and achievements of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Vietnamese youth.

However, the General Secretary also agreed with the comments pointed out regarding the limitations in the work of the Youth Union and the youth movement in the past term. There is still a group of young people who have lost faith, lack awareness of law enforcement, live pragmatically, lack ideals; and show signs of drifting away from the nation's fine cultural traditions and falling into individualism.

According to the General Secretary, although it is only a small part, those manifestations need to be paid attention to and overcome, otherwise, it will be the root cause leading to "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" with many consequences for future generations.

The Party and State always attach great importance to and highly appreciate the role and position of youth, identifying youth as a great social force, the backbone of the country, the future owners of the country, and the vanguard force in building and defending the Fatherland.

Suggesting a number of additional issues for the congress to consider and discuss, the General Secretary said that it is necessary to strengthen and improve the work of political education, revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle for the young generation, so that the young generation, the future owners of the country, can truly be "both red and expert".

The General Secretary spoke.

The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union needs to help young people fulfill their mission to the Party, the country, and the nation; must demonstrate and do better in educating the young generation about revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle; enhance patriotism and national pride. Especially, it is necessary to nurture the ambition and aspiration to build the country, clearly recognize the historical mission and responsibility in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.

The Union needs to attach importance to educating union members and youth through practical activities and patriotic emulation movements. The General Secretary noted that it is necessary to orient personality values, making the youth truly imbued with and capable of self-resistance, actively fighting against the sabotage plots of hostile forces.

“Each young person must always cultivate revolutionary ethics, be modest, simple, and progressive; nurture a pure heart, train a bright mind, and build great ambitions; clearly affirm that today's young generation is ready to worthily inherit the revolutionary tradition, the will to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and determined to contribute to building our beloved Vietnam to become increasingly rich, beautiful, and powerful, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world's great powers,” the General Secretary stated.
