With the slogan of action: "Vietnamese youth are pioneers, brave, united, creative, and developing"; The Congress set 10 key targets for the 2017-2022 term, including: 100% of cadres, union members and 80% of young people study, thoroughly understand, and propagate the resolutions of the Party and the Union.

100% of commune, ward and town Youth Unions have built at least 01 model and solution to advise and support disadvantaged youth. 5 million ideas and initiatives have been proposed by Youth Union members and youth.

30 million new trees were planted. 10,000 billion VND in loans were provided to support young people in economic activities. 1,000 creative start-up projects of young people were supported.

Sharing the plan to develop 5 million ideas and initiatives proposed by youth union members, Mr. Le Quoc Phong, First Secretary of the Central Youth Union, said: “Many people are concerned about this target, and some suggest that we should propose applicable creativity. We have also discussed a lot and hope that this is an asymptotic number to promote youth creativity.

We do not expect these 5 million ideas to be realized. Because to realize it requires a very long process including many factors such as the feasibility of the idea to the resources and conditions to support the idea.

You just need to have ideas, be creative, and be aware of finding new solutions to solve problems in life, at work, and in the demands of society. That is our success in promoting youth creativity.”./.
