On behalf of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long warmly commended and congratulated the achievements of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and youth nationwide in recent times, contributing increasingly practically and effectively to the overall development achievements of the whole country.
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that in the coming time, the world and regional situation is forecast to continue to develop rapidly and complicatedly; difficulties, challenges, opportunities and advantages are intertwined.
For our country, 2025 is of special importance: it is the final year of implementing the 2021-2025 Socio-Economic Development Plan; organizing Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress. At the same time, 2025 will see many important events of the country: the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Party, the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South, the reunification of the country, the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the country.
In that context, to bring the country firmly into a new era - an era of strong, civilized and prosperous development of the nation, we are determined to achieve a growth target of 8% or more by 2025, creating a foundation for growth of over 10% per year in the period 2026-2030. These are challenging goals that require the participation of the entire political system, including the important role of the youth force, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
Youth is an important factor in bringing the country firmly into the new era.
With that spirit, the Deputy Prime Minister asked the youth team, with the core being the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, to focus on effectively implementing assigned tasks, paying attention to a number of contents.
Firstly, Party committees, authorities and Youth Union chapters at all levels need to deeply perceive the position and role of youth as the main resource for building and developing new productive forces; as the pioneering force participating in new fields; and as an important factor to bring the country firmly into the new era.
The Deputy Prime Minister requested the Youth Union to thoroughly grasp the direction of General Secretary To Lam: "Young people need to clearly demonstrate their role in all activities of social life, need to be clearly aware of their responsibilities and tasks, must be the leading force in studying and training, constantly strive to master science and technology, be steadfast, determined, united, must do what is worth doing, prioritize action, talk less, do more, be proactive, decisive, grasp and seize opportunities, absolutely not be arrogant, complacent"; maintain the spirit of "self-reliance, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-strengthening, national pride"; take practical actions: be creative in work, study, scientific research; be proactive in political, economic and social tasks.
Second, the Youth Union needs to launch and implement practical and effective activities to create strong changes in the awareness and actions of young people, contributing to the rapid and sustainable development of the country. Continue to promote the pioneering and pioneering role of young people in implementing important issues of the country, such as streamlining the apparatus, innovation, digital transformation, environmental protection, waste prevention and control... Each young person needs to constantly learn, improve knowledge, practice skills and enhance their mettle; continue to be proactive, master science and technology, create breakthroughs in national digital transformation; at the same time, pioneer in practicing thrift, fighting waste, and protecting the environment.
Third, strengthen solidarity, gather young people from all walks of life and all fields to develop their great potential. Youth Union and Association chapters at all levels need to organize more exchange and connection programs, support young people to start businesses, study, develop skills, have more opportunities to develop themselves and contribute to society, enrich their homeland and country.
On this occasion, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long requested Party committees and local authorities to continue to pay more attention to and listen to the voices of young people; thereby, having specific mechanisms and policies to support young people. At the same time, increase participation, contribution, create the most favorable conditions for the young generation to have the opportunity to practice, strive and mature, become useful citizens, contributing to the development of the country. In addition, continue to pay attention, support, and create all favorable conditions for the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union to fulfill its mission of caring for, educating, nurturing and promoting the role of young people in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.
"To you young people, I hope you will always promote the spirit of solidarity and unanimity, turn love for the Fatherland into a driving force to strive and rise; always nurture and cherish passion and ambition, and devote your strength and intelligence to the homeland and country to develop quickly and sustainably, bringing the Vietnamese people to the stage of glory, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers as beloved Uncle Ho always wished," the Deputy Prime Minister expressed.
