Nghe An youth remember Uncle Ho's teachings
(Baonghean.vn) - On December 9, 1961, when talking to cadres, soldiers, and people during his second visit to his hometown Nghe An, President Ho Chi Minh advised: "Our province has more than 220,000 young people, but the Labor Youth Union has only less than 10,000 members. That is too little. The Union needs to educate and help young people progress, select good young people who are enthusiastic about working and studying, and organize them into the Union to develop and further strengthen its team...".
Imbued with Uncle Ho's advice, over the years, Youth Union chapters at all levels in the province have always paid attention to building and nurturing a team of young cadres with strong political will and absolute loyalty to the Party, the Fatherland and the People.
