As per the pact, the two unions will continue to organise bilateral meetings and experience exchanges; and communications campaigns to raise awareness among youths about the special and comprehensive friendship between Vietnam and Laos as well as the collaboration shared between the two provinces.

They will also work together to encourage young people to engage in the protection of the Vietnam-Laos borderline and prevention of unorganised immigration, and drug and human trafficking, while promoting connections and exchange between youths living along the border areas. 

The sides will create favourable conditions for young businessmen from both localities to seek opportunities and partnerships and help the Vietnamese youth union carry out charity programmes in Savannakhet.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Vice Secretary of the Party Committee of Quang Tri Nguyen Dang Quang praised joint work between the two youth unions in the past time, suggesting them step up coordination in educating the younger generation on fostering the Vietnam – Laos friendship.
