First Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee Le Quoc Phong speaks at the ceremony in HCM City on August 17.

Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh said the summer youth volunteer campaign has helped tens of thousands of young Vietnamese people to improve themselves and make contributions.

In the face of the growing national industrialisation, modernisation and integration into the world and impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, HCYU units must carry out strong and comprehensive reforms to build on the enormous achievements over the last 20 years and affirm their role in guiding the volunteer movement in general, he noted.

For his part, First Secretary of the HCYU Central Committee Le Quoc Phong said through practical activities, the summer youth volunteer campaign has enhanced people and all-level authorities’ trust in the youth. It has attracted a large number of young people to dedicate their skills and knowledge and also served as a lighthouse guiding the operation of volunteer groups in society.

He called on young people to take part in the campaign to learn, experience, dedicate and grow up since each season will help them learn new things and understand that “giving means receiving”, which will become the spiritual support for them to gain more successes in their lives.

Also at the ceremony, collectives and individuals with excellent performance in the campaign were honoured with State-level rewards.
