“Participants at the congress are exemplary individuals from various sectors such as officials, entrepreneurs, scientists, athletes, and more. They have been carefully selected as delegates to participate in this congress due to their good reputation and influence among Vietnamese youth union members and young people,” said An.
During the 3-day congress, in addition to in-person activities such as reporting work to Uncle Ho, meeting with party and state leaders, and visiting the Presidential Palace and Ho Chi Minh Museum, there will be 6 online discussion panels. This is the first time the discussion panels will be hosted online.
According to the HCYU Central Committee, the six discussion topics are Nurturing good spirit and minds, building great ambitions in youth, Developing and defending the Fatherland, Studying for tomorrow’s career, Youth’s mission to revive cultural values in the digital era, Global integration with confidence, and Unity to promote the nation’s internal power. Starting from September 19, delegates will share their messages in the online forums and participate in discussions on the assigned topics at the end of the Congress. The most meaningful messages that represent the topics will be posted on various online channels and social networks to actively spread the positive influence of the congress.
