Many said they hoped discussion sessions will come up with initiativesto help better define the role of parliaments and young parliamentarians inpromoting respect for cultural diversity in the context of digital transformationand globalisation.

The selection of the theme “The Role of Young People inPromoting the Realisation of Sustainable Development Goals via Digital Transformationand Innovations” is linked to both the goal set by the Inter-ParliamentaryUnion (IPU) of accompanying the United Nations to promote the achievement ofthe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Vietnam's current concern toinvest in culture to turn it into a driving force and resource forsocio-economic development.

The pioneering force in digital transformation is the youth,however, to achieve successful transformation, many challenges still remain,they said.

Therefore, this is a great opportunity and a useful bridgefor young parliamentarians to exchange experiences in digital transformation,flexible adaptation solutions after the COVID-19 pandemic and marketfluctuations, thereby setting forth strategies to mobilise resources fordevelopment investment, production and business, they added./.
