Dong Thap: Meeting Marks 70th Anniversary of Vietnam Youth Federation
(DTO) On the morning of October 14, the Dong Thap Provincial Vietnam Youth Federation held a meeting to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Vietnam Youth Federation’s Traditional Day (October 15, 1956 - October 15, 2026).
Attendees included Huynh Minh Tuan, Member of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Dong Thap Provincial People’s Committee; leaders of provincial departments, agencies and mass organizations; and former Federation officials from different periods.
In a warm and friendly atmosphere, former Federation officials reminisced about memorable experiences and shared practical lessons from their involvement in Federation work and youth movements. They also expressed their confidence in and expectations for today’s generation of Federation officials.
Many thoughtful suggestions and practical solutions were put forward to further innovate activities and working methods, improve efforts to bring young people together, and promote the role of youth in socioeconomic development and in building an increasingly prosperous and civilized Dong Thap.
Over 70 years of development, the Vietnam Youth Federation has affirmed its role in uniting and mobilizing young people from all walks of life, fostering patriotism, a sense of responsibility and the aspiration to contribute to the cause of national construction and defense.
Building on this tradition, generations of Federation officials, members and young people in Dong Thap have actively contributed to economic development, social welfare, and the maintenance of security and public order, making important contributions to the province’s development.
During the 2024-2026 period, Federation work and youth movements achieved many positive results. Nearly 39,000 new members were admitted across the province. Support was provided for 94 startup projects and 26 youth-developed OCOP products, while more than 166,000 youth participations in digital skills training were recorded.
In addition, volunteer activities attracted nearly 890,000 participation by Federation officials, members and young people. These activities included building 200 houses for disadvantaged people, installing lighting along more than 210 kilometers of rural roads, and implementing 235 youth projects.
In the new period, Vice Chairman Huynh Minh Tuan called on all levels of the Federation to strengthen education in political ideals, ethics, lifestyle and civic responsibility among young people; renew approaches to uniting and mobilizing youth; promote their role in socioeconomic development; and ensure practical support for their lawful and legitimate rights and interests.
He also called for greater efforts in career counseling, vocational training, job placement, and the provision of startup capital and knowledge, as well as increased attention to disadvantaged youth, rural youth and young industrial workers.
On this occasion, the Provincial Vietnam Youth Federation presented commendations to 17 collectives and 57 individuals in recognition of their outstanding contributions to Federation work and youth movements.
