Continue to affirm the role of 'The Party's trusted reserve force'

Comrade La Thi Hang, a female member of the Youth Union who is Dan Lai, was admitted to the Communist Party of Vietnam by the Party Cell of Ba Ha village, Thach Ngan commune, Con Cuong district in November 2023. She is the first Dan Lai party member in Thach Ngan commune to be admitted to the Party at a young age and the second person of the Dan Lai ethnic group in Con Cuong district to be admitted to the Party.

The above recognition from the Party organization is a testament to the efforts and training of comrade La Thi Hang and also the achievements in training union members of the Youth Union organization in the area.

Through sharing, Comrade Lu Thi Bang Chau - Secretary of Con Cuong District Youth Union said that in 2023, the district admitted 111 new party members, of which 70 were union members and youth (more than 63% of the total number of new party members in the district). To achieve that result, in addition to the direction, urging and recognition of the Party organization, the Standing Committee of the District Youth Union directed the grassroots youth unions to pay attention to the work of developing party members, effectively implementing the campaign "Union members strive to become members of the Communist Party of Vietnam".

Accordingly, every quarter, the Youth Union organizes a vote to select outstanding members to propose to the Party Committee to consider sending them to attend Party sympathy classes and continue to train and admit them to the Party. Youth Union organizations at all levels also do a good job of advising and working with Party cells to develop Party members from ethnic minority students and youth.

Always identifying its role as the “reliable reserve force of the Party”, the Youth Union at all levels in Nghe An regularly trains and introduces young people to the Party. The Youth Union at all levels also organizes many practical movements and activities for members and young people to practice, improve their political qualities, build ideals, and strive to join the Party.

In Yen Thanh district, in 2023, 371 new party members were admitted, including 153 union members (more than 42% of the total number of new party members in the district). In the first two months of 2024, 32 more union members in the district were admitted to the Party.

Comrade Pham Thi Huyen Trang - Secretary of Yen Thanh District Youth Union said that, in addition to introducing outstanding union members to the Party organization, every year, the District Youth Union organizes many activities to attract union members and young people to participate. Typical volunteer activities include: "Bowl of love porridge", "Car wash to raise funds", "Organizing loving meals", "Free medical examination and distribution for people"; implementing youth projects, paying attention to supporting the training of teenagers and children... Through that, creating an environment for union members and young people to practice, contribute, be recognized and introduced and continue to grow in the Party's ranks.

In 2023, Nghe An province admitted 5,097 new party members, of which 3,033 were union members and youth, accounting for more than 59.5% of the total number of newly admitted party members.

Participating in building and protecting the Party and the political system is the responsibility and political right of union members, youth and union organizations, and is an important and regular task of union chapters at all levels. In his speech at the 12th National Congress of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union for the 2022-2027 term, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized: The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union must regularly supplement the Party's youthful vitality with a contingent of Party members recruited from outstanding union members and qualified young cadres to introduce to the Party, the government and the political system; at the same time, it is necessary to actively and proactively carry out the task of protecting the Party's ideological foundation, taking the lead and resolutely fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints.

According to the General Secretary, the world situation, in addition to positive aspects, continues to have rapid, complex and unpredictable developments. The fourth industrial revolution is developing strongly with scientific breakthroughs and technological advances that will promote leapfrogging development in many fields, creating both opportunities and challenges for all countries... We continue to comprehensively and synchronously promote innovation with new positions and strengths; however, we also face many difficulties and challenges, especially the impact of the global economic and financial recession; epidemics, life, employment and negative social evils..., affecting the thinking and life of the people, including the youth.

Faced with that reality, it requires union members and young people to promote the heroic tradition of the nation and inherit the valuable lessons of the Party, building the Youth Union and the youth force to truly become a brave, creative, and solid reserve force of the Party and the People, meeting the increasingly high requirements of the revolution in the new period.

In comparison with the development requirements of the country and homeland, the youth union members in Nghe An are actively participating in movements, promoting the spirit of initiative, creativity, volunteering for the community, taking the lead in digital transformation, establishing themselves and their careers, actively contributing to the successful implementation of resolutions of the Youth Union and the Party at all levels.

The Youth Union chapters in Nghe An also clearly identified the responsibility of "Cultivating excellent members for the Party is the noble and sacred mission of the Youth Union", on that basis, strengthening the ideal training for members and young people, replicating good and creative models and practices in the work of developing Party members from members./.
