One of the new features in this year’s campaign is the implementation of the “three connections” (among forces, among localities, and among communities) guideline, which is developed based on the Resolution of the 12th National Youth Union Congress. This year, the Secretariat of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee directs each cluster of Youth Union organizations to have at least one voluntary project which connects localities.
At the event, Vice State President Vo Thi Anh Xuan emphasized that youth force is one of the important factors that determine the future and fate of the country and actualize the aspiration for developing a prosperous and happy nation. Under the leadership of the Party, generations of Vietnamese youths have overcome all difficulties and hardships to obtain glorious achievements in the struggle for national independence and reunification and the renewal cause.
Launched 23 years ago, the summer youth volunteer campaign has conducted various meaningful activities, leaving good impression on people. Youths have actively participated in such activities as illiteracy eradication, hunger elimination and poverty reduction, building of new-style rural areas and civilized urban areas, gratitude work, social security, and environmental protection. Tens of millions of Youth Union members and young people have been trained through these summer youth volunteer activities. Many youths have been honored to be admitted to the Party.
