One of the new features in implementing this year's campaign was that the youth union promoted the implementation of the three linkages of forces, areas and communities. The youth union organised 67,827 groups with more than 6.5 million members participating in implementing 647 provincial-level youth projects worth more than 100 billion VND (4.1 million USD), 4,975 district-level ones worth nearly 143 billion VND, and 55,804 at the grassroots level with a total value of over 210 billion VND.

First Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee Bui Quang Huy speaks at the conference.

Speaking at the event, Huy emphasised that the campaign helped promote young people’s spirit of pioneering and volunteering in boosting socio-economic development, solving social issues, building new-style rural areas and civilised urban areas, ensuring social welfare, defence and security, especially in difficult, remote, border, island and ethnic-inhabited areas.

He proposed provincial and municipal youth unions pay special attention to the sustainability in implementing volunteer models and projects, continue to promote the application of digital transformation in volunteer activities to innovate their  methods, bring activities closer to real life and increase the possibility of engagement in these activities among young people./.
