She stressed that during the country’s reform, the Party and State have paid special attention to the youth through support policies designed for them.
She called for the youth across the country to continue promoting their pioneering role and overcome all difficulties to pursue their dreams, thus making more contributions to the country’s growth.
She also asked the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Central Committee and the Fund for Vietnamese Young Talents to seek more creative and effective measures in assisting the youth, while proposing policies to nurture, honour and promote young talents.
The Party Organisation and government at all levels should also join hands in developing young talents, considering the work as a joint responsibility, she added.
