According to Mr. Hai, in the era of national growth, the city's development orientation relies mainly on the human factor, first and foremost the youth, who will decide the city's future in the coming decades.

The Association must promote the tradition of patriotism through the movement "I love my Fatherland", considering it an important and regular political task. It must promote the pride and qualities of the young generation of Ho Chi Minh City: solidarity, dynamism, creativity, humanity, tolerance, chivalry, and law-abiding.

Spread the message "I love my country"

Appreciating the work of the Association and the youth movement of Ho Chi Minh City which are constantly innovating with the movement "I love my Fatherland", Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Youth Union Nguyen Kim Quy said that the city focuses on many social resources, quickly approaches new trends, initiates and develops many movements.

The Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Youth Union has always coordinated, regularly supported, shared experiences and resources with local Youth Union organizations in the Southeast region and the whole country. Notably, volunteer activities have attracted hundreds of thousands of young people with the unique characteristics of the city's youth, spreading to all parts of the country.

From the achievements, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union expects that in the new term, the City Youth Union will invest in building a model of Ho Chi Minh City youth with revolutionary ideals, solidarity, pioneering, creative, modern, and full of love for the city and the Fatherland through the movement "I love my Fatherland".

This movement is more meaningful than ever in the context of major economic, political and social changes in the world today. The city's youth must become people with revolutionary ideals, always united, constantly learning, innovating, grasping technology, breaking through and acting for a civilized and modern city.

"That model of youth is not only successful people but also those who dare to dream, dare to think, dare to do, dare to commit, affirm their mettle, live with ambition, and are not afraid of hardships" - Mr. Quy said.

The Association must be a bridge and a reliable support for young people to maximize their entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and digital transformation. In addition, the Association in Ho Chi Minh City is also responsible for leading the youth movement nationwide. This is a challenge that requires each cadre and Association unit in the city to constantly strive, connect and lead the movement.

Vice President of the Vietnam Youth Union of District 6, Phan Vu Tuyet Mai, said she shared these expectations. She said she had participated in the discussion on the topic of accompanying disadvantaged youth at the congress and from the reality that District 6 has a relatively large number of disadvantaged and disadvantaged youth, the District Youth Union Committee has identified caring for disadvantaged youth as one of the key tasks.
