The festival was an opportunity for military youth in particular, and Vietnamese youths in general, to embody the spirit of “Wherever needed, youth will be there; no matter how hard the task, youths will tackle it,” showing readiness to pioneer in all missions. It also aimed to cultivate love for the sea and islands, and promote law-abiding awareness and discipline among the younger generation and students.

The festival featured a wide range of meaningful, humanistic activities such as dissemination of information about current issues related to seas and islands, the Vietnam Coast Guard Law and relevant legal documents, and the fight against IUU fishing.
