On the afternoon of July 10 in Hanoi, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union held a conference to collect comments on the draft Report of the 9th National Congress of the Vietnam Youth Union, term 2024 - 2029. Attending the conference was Mr. Nguyen Tuong Lam - Secretary of the Central Committee of the Youth Union.

Plan to implement a movement, a program

At the conference, Mr. Nguyen Kim Quy - Head of the Central Youth Union's Solidarity Committee, Permanent Vice President of the Central Vietnam Youth Union - said that the conference aimed to collect opinions and suggestions from the Central Youth Union's committees, units and affiliated youth groups on the draft report of the Congress documents, meeting the expectations of the youth nationwide and ensuring the good implementation of the political tasks of the Vietnam Youth Union in the new period.

Regarding the content, Mr. Quy said the 8th draft report is entitled "Building a strong Association; expanding the solidarity front to gather young people; promoting the role and responsibility of young people to contribute to realizing the aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country".

The draft consists of two parts on the implementation results of the Resolution of the 8th National Congress of the Vietnam Youth Union, term 2019 - 2024 and the goals, tasks, and solutions for the Union's work and youth movement for the term 2024 - 2029.

The 8th draft sets out tasks and solutions for the Association's work and youth movement for the 2024-2029 term, planning to implement one movement and one program.

In particular, the I Love My Fatherland movement will focus on 5 groups of solutions: Vietnamese youth love the country; Vietnamese youth participate in preserving and promoting national cultural identity; Vietnamese youth study, create, start a business; Vietnamese youth volunteer for community life and Vietnamese youth unite and integrate.

The program of Building a Strong Association will focus on the following contents: Association staff work, membership work, building grassroots organizations of the Association, consolidating and improving the quality of collective member organizations of the Vietnam Youth Union, solidarity work, gathering Vietnamese youth abroad and international youth work, inspection and reward work of the Association.

Promoting overseas members, ethnic and religious youth

At the conference, delegates discussed and gave comments on the draft report, focusing on the direction and tasks of the Association's work and youth movement for the 2024-2029 term.

Ms. Tran Dieu Linh - expert of the Central Propaganda Department of the Youth Union - gave her opinion on the direction for the next term, which could include the innovation of the Association's propaganda methods, especially promoting the role of press agencies and units performing propaganda tasks under the Association.

At the same time, supplement solutions to mobilize and utilize members of the Vietnam Youth Union and the Vietnam Student Association abroad in foreign affairs, implementing the Party and State's policies abroad.

She also suggested that the Association should focus on solutions to use core forces among ethnic youth and religious youth to promptly respond to arising situations.

Giving opinions on the solution "Strengthening the work of grasping the situation and public opinion of young people", a delegate proposed to add a solution to proactively apply digital transformation to grasp the ideological situation and public opinion among young people for each specific group of young people such as young people in border areas, mountainous areas, ethnic minorities, religious followers, and Vietnamese young people studying and working abroad.

"Thereby, we can promptly resolve "hot spots" of public opinion among young people, thereby promptly orienting public opinion among young people" - this delegate suggested.

Along with that, some opinions also suggested that in the next term, Gen Z will be a prominent force, accounting for the majority of Vietnamese youth. Therefore, the Association needs to have assessments of the situation and characteristics of Gen Z and focus on issues and solutions that this generation is interested in such as creating a working environment, mental health, creativity, mastering technology, etc.
