Association officials must sacrifice

Mr. Nguyen Tuong Lam - Chairman of the Vietnam Youth Union - answered a question from a Tuoi Tre reporter about the solution to build a team of Union officials who "go through hardship first, enjoy later" at a press conference after the congress on December 18.

Mr. Nguyen Tuong Lam shared that the responsibility of the Association's cadres is to sacrifice. Some of the Association's cadres were sent by the Youth Union to work part-time for the Association. Other Association cadres are from different classes and youth groups.

They can be young entrepreneurs, young artists... coming to the Association with affection, responsibility and love for the Association and the youth. "Those friends are definitely the ones who have to sacrifice the most, because the Association cannot help materially but only accompany and support spiritually. They accompany the Association on its meaningful journeys" - Mr. Lam said.

According to Mr. Lam, looking back at the issues that General Secretary To Lam pointed out at the Congress, the root cause lies in the human factor.

"When we do not have grassroots Union officials who are truly leaders of the youth, the work of the Union and the youth movement will certainly not be substantial. If they are not truly leaders, do not know how to do, do not know how to think about the activities of the Union, do not know how to orient the youth, but do things in an administrative manner, they will not attract the youth. At that time, the activities of the Union will only be a formality," said Mr. Lam.

Mr. Lam said that this is also one of the reasons why the rate of youth union members is not as expected.

"If young people do not have access to the Association and education, the rate of law violations will increase and become younger. All of these issues are related to the responsibility of Youth Union and Association officials," said the new president of the Vietnam Youth Union.

The movement "I love my Fatherland" is the core in the work of building the Association organization.

Implementing the direction of the General Secretary, after this congress, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union determined the goals to orient each specific activity.

With the work of building a strong association base, gathering and building a team of association officials is a top priority.

Union officials must be leaders of the youth, not civil servants. Union officials must first be autonomous and voluntary, so that the youth can join the Union voluntarily.

And to be a youth leader, one must have affection for the youth, affection for the Association and the skills to gather the youth.

"We have no other expectations for a strong, united, capable, creative, and enthusiastic collective to keep up with the development of the Youth Union, to build the Union organization and the youth movement to develop more and more," said Nguyen Tuong Lam.
