PV:Dear Sister, stories about young people and their dedication to the community and society always attract the attention of many people. In today's society, do Nghe An youth dare to commit and sacrifice personal interests to carry out useful work for the community, especially towards the difficult areas of the province?

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy:Not only in the current period, but in any conditions and circumstances, the most common denominator that creates value and contribution of youth is always dedication and contribution to the community and society. Just recently, thousands of Nghe An youth volunteers at the grassroots organizations have deployed to carry out summer volunteer activities. They bring their youth and enthusiasm to contribute to building rural roads, installing and repairing lighting systems for people and supporting the elderly and disadvantaged in many highland border villages and social protection centers.

Not only limiting their volunteer activities within the country, they are also willing to leave their families to go to Laos to coordinate with the youth of that country to carry out meaningful social security activities.

On key national projects, most recently the 500kV line 3 project, Nghe An youth have successfully completed the peak emulation period of 30 days and nights of volunteering to "overcome the sun and rain" to support the construction force to the maximum.

“

Looking back at the 2017-2024 term, youth is the key force, participating in and promoting the new rural construction movement. During the term, the whole province has carried out 20 provincial-level youth projects, 470 district-level youth projects and more than 3,500 grassroots-level projects and tasks.

In the new rural construction, the youth force has pioneered in building more than 157 km of new roads, participated in repairing 285 km of rural roads; built 542 new playgrounds for children, 4 rural bridges, and overpasses. These projects are long-term support, having a positive impact on all aspects of people's lives in the areas where they are benefited; creating an important premise in ensuring people's lives and sustainable socio-economic development in the new situation.

In addition, the movement "I love my country" has been widely deployed and deeply embedded in the lives of young people, encouraging, urging and calling on a large number of young people to express their patriotism through concrete actions. The programs "Winter Volunteer", "Spring Volunteer", "Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign", "March Border Month", "Young Doctors Following Uncle Ho's Words" Festival, "Zero-dong Booth", "Festival for Young Workers" ... have been widely organized by the association at all levels, giving away thousands of gifts and many meaningful support activities to the people.

These are practical actions to demonstrate the spirit of daring to contribute intelligence, youth and enthusiasm to carry out many new and difficult tasks towards the community and society of Nghe An youth in recent times!

"That spirit has helped Nghe An youth become one of the leading units in the Youth Union - Association movement and emulation among youth nationwide" as affirmed by Central Youth Union Secretary Ngo Van Cuong at the Conference to approve the organization of the 7th Congress of the Vietnam Youth Union of Nghe An province, term 2024 - 2029.

“

Those movements are practical actions to demonstrate the spirit of daring to contribute intelligence, youth and enthusiasm to carry out many new and difficult tasks towards the community and society of Nghe An youth.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy

PV:According to the new viewpoint of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union, the value of young people lies in their will and desire to establish themselves and their careers. This is not only an opportunity for them to pursue their passion but also to create value for society. In your opinion, can Nghe An youth do that well?

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy:Each stage of formation, construction and development of the country requires young people to have different missions and tasks. In the current stage, the most important mission and task of young people is to establish themselves and create value for society.

Realizing that, Nghe An youth not only engage in social security activities towards the community. In the economic field, Nghe An youth have more and more examples of young people overcoming difficulties to start successful businesses with many new models and good practices. More than 1,800 effective economic models built by youth and tens of thousands of projects and works in the border areas of Nghe An are clear evidence of the mission that youth have been and are carrying out.

Along with that, in the modern trend, many union members and young people in Nghe An have had a sharp mind, quickly adapting to the times to start a business on the digital technology platform. Typical examples include young man Nghiem Tien Vien (born in 1990) with the GoStream application supporting livestream on the Facebook platform, top 30 in the world, or young man Nguyen Van Tai - Director of Anh Duc Tai Company Limited specializing in the garment industry, despite his young age, he was honored with the award of top 100 outstanding young entrepreneurs in Vietnam...

The effective operation of these economic types has shown the strong entrepreneurial spirit of Nghe An youth in the new situation. From here, it contributes significantly to the development of the whole province's economy, supporting job creation for thousands of local workers.

PV:It is clear that Nghe An youth have made strong changes and achieved many results in the past term. So behind those achievements, is the association a solid support for them to practice, contribute and grow?

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy:The association at all levels has had many solutions to accompany young entrepreneurs in starting a business that are suitable to the organizational capacity and meet the needs of local youth. In particular, to create a solid foundation for young people in the process of starting a business, there are many projects and solutions to provide vocational training, connect jobs, and transfer science and technology.

Regarding capital, as of February 2024, the total outstanding loan balance from the Social Policy Bank was more than VND 1,059 billion; the capital source from the National Employment Fund through the Central Youth Union with a capital of more than VND 4.1 billion has been disbursed to 150 projects, creating jobs for more than 1,000 workers. The Youth Entrepreneurship Support Fund of Nghe An province has disbursed VND 1.4 billion for 28 projects.

The Association has also organized many programs and campaigns to accompany young people in training and developing life skills, improving physical fitness, cultural and spiritual life. Finally, creating a training environment and organizing practical activities for young people to participate in such as supporting the community, joining hands to implement projects towards disadvantaged areas, participating in cultural connection activities... has helped union members and young people to cultivate awareness, responsibility and patriotism.

PV:Entering the new term, do you have any message for the youth of Nghe An?

Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thuy:The 2019 - 2024 term ended with many outstanding marks of the provincial Youth Union at all levels. Entering the new term, with the spirit of "Nghe An Youth studying and following Uncle Ho's teachings, aspiration - pioneering - solidarity - creativity - development", the Provincial Youth Union set out the task in the coming term to well implement the movement "I love my Fatherland" and the Program "Building a strong Vietnam Youth Union" through the work of union officials, members, building grassroots organizations and improving the quality of collective membership organizations of the Vietnam Youth Union.
