I am delighted to know that the Global Forum of Young Parliamentarians, through eight Conferences, has continuously developed and fulfilled its mission of promoting youth participation in parliaments, supporting young parliamentarians to maximize their role, ensuring that the voices of young people are heard in the decision-making process at the global level and thereby making an important contribution to solving global challenges.
I wish the 9th Conference a success, issuing a Declaration on the role of youth in promoting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through digital transformation and innovation.
Dear Sir or Madam,
“Youth is the spring of society”, the age of “moving mountains and filling seas”. Young people have great advantages in taking advantage of opportunities, especially those brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. They are the force holding the key to opening new doors, new ways of thinking and doing to effectively handle common global challenges in the present and the future.
I highly appreciate the theme of this Conference “The role of youth in promoting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through digital transformation and innovation”. Because it reflects our common concern about how to take advantage of the remarkable achievements brought about by science, technology and innovation, strengthen international cooperation and linkages to further accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, and at the same time expand the participation of youth in solving global problems, contributing to peace and prosperity for all countries in the world.
Dear Sir or Madam,
In the new period, Vietnam will continue to consistently implement its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, multilateralization, for peace, friendship, cooperation and development, based on the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and international law. I believe that the Vietnamese National Assembly will continue to cooperate with parliaments of other countries to turn the recommendations and resolutions of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in general and the Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians in particular into concrete actions, thereby making practical and effective contributions to peace, stability and sustainable development in the region and the world.
I hope that each young parliamentarian is a dynamic and creative Ambassador of friendship, connecting parliaments and people of all countries for a better world for everyone.
Wishing you good health and the opportunity to experience and understand more about the country, culture and people of Vietnam.
Thank you very much.
