HÀ NỘI — The Government and the Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union should work together to create the most favorable environment for young people to take the lead in renovation and start-up activities and in tackling pressing social issues, Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc has said.

He chaired a working session between the Government and the Central Committee of the Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union in Hà Nội yesterday to review implementation of the co-ordinating mechanism between the two sides and discuss their future tasks. 

He hailed young people’s contributions to the country’s socio-economic development, giving special emphasis to their part in maintaining social order and stability during the major April pollution fish deaths caused by steel maker Formosa.

He noted the results of the implementation of the co-ordinating regulation between the Government and the Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union, especially in generating jobs for young people.

However, he pointed out that the youth union was slow carrying out a number of projects assigned by the Government, such as supporting working young people and developing islands managed by young people.

The Central Committee of the Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union needs to pay attention to educating and encouraging young people to take a more active role in promoting socio-economic development and safeguarding security, defence, and social order.

“Young people should lead in making renovations and launching start-ups to address employment issues,” he said.

The Hồ Chí Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee was assigned to work with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to map out a project on young people’s involvement in protecting the environment and responding to climate change. — VNS
