Hanoi (VNA) – The National Committee on Youth of Vietnam (NCYV) and Vietnamese youth organisations always attach great importance to the psychological and mental health and comprehensive development of Vietnamese youngsters, a senior official has said.

Speaking at the 12th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Youth (AMMY), which was held virtually on June 21 under the chair of Malaysia, Bui Quang Huy, First Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Central Committee and NCYV head, said Vietnamese young people are regularly supported in learning, working, starting a business, health care and entertainment as well as acquiring necessary skills.

Huy appreciated the theme chosen by host Malaysia – “Mental Health Matters: You are not Alone”, saying that it affirms the importance of psychological and mental health and its impact on the development of youth in each country. The theme shows the commitment to accompanying young people by the youth affairs agencies of the countries in the region, he added.

He said that in the coming time, the NCYV will continue to promote policies and programmes to accompany youth, empower young people and their efforts for comprehensive development with no one left behind.

Regarding ASEAN youth development policies, Huy suggested that the ASEAN Secretariat, agencies in charge of youth affairs of ASEAN countries consider the possibility of cooperation and experience exchange in the fields of digital transformation and entrepreneurship in association with the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 as well as the ASEAN Work Plan on Youth 2021-2025.
At the meeting, the delegates listened to the 2nd Report of the ASEAN Youth Development Index and adopted the joint statement of the 12th AMMY, which includes 13 articles with many important contents related to youth development.

The joint statement also commits to maintaining contributions to and effective use of the ASEAN Youth Programme Fund (AYPF), welcomes Timor-Leste's first participation in the meeting as an observer, and agrees to convene the 13th AMMY next year./.
