(An Giang E- Portal) - On the morning of May 22, the solemn session of the 1st Congress of Delegates of the Vietnam Youth Federation of An Giang Province for the 2026–2029 term was held.
Attending the Congress were Nguyen Kim Quy, Member of the Standing Committee of the Central Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Standing Vice Chairwoman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Federation; and Tran Thi Thanh Huong, Deputy Secretary of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Giang Province.
Speaking to direct the congress, Comrade Nguyen Kim Quy acknowledged and commended the achievements made by the Youth Federation chapters at all levels in An Giang Province in recent times. She also requested continued effective implementation of the “I Love My Homeland” movement, closely linked with the task of local socio-economic development.
The Youth Federation needs to focus on researching solutions to innovate methods of gathering and uniting young people in the new situation. Particular attention should be given to digital transformation and supporting youth in innovative startups, while also improving the quality of the Federation’s organization from the grassroots level to build the An Giang Provincial Youth Federation into an increasingly strong organization, worthy of being a trusted companion to young people.
Speaking at the congress, Comrade Tran Thi Thanh Huong emphasized that the congress is taking place at a time when An Giang Province is implementing the two-tier local government model. This merger not only changes the organizational structure but also opens up new development space, making An Giang the province with the largest population and natural area in the Mekong Delta region.
An Giang has potential in agriculture, marine economy, border trade, cultural-spiritual tourism, and inter-regional logistics, and is actively preparing for the APEC 2027 High-Level Conference in Phu Quoc. In this strong wave of development, more than 539,000 young people in An Giang are an especially important resource, a pioneering force carrying the aspiration for renewal and a spirit of dedication to their homeland.
Comrade Tran Thi Thanh Huong acknowledged, commended, and highly appreciated the efforts and comprehensive achievements made by the Youth Federation chapters at all levels and by all young people in the province. She also pointed out the shortcomings that need to be addressed soon, such as the fact that capturing youth sentiments in some areas has not been timely, Federation activities still lack innovation, and the Federation organization must adapt more quickly to the differences in local areas after the merger.
To meet the task requirements in the new situation, Comrade Tran Thi Thanh Huong provided direction and raised several core issues for the An Giang youth movement in the coming period. Specifically, focus on strengthening the Federation’s organization, with attention to reviewing and reorganizing the cadre team toward a streamlined, effective, and efficient structure; build a contingent of youth leaders with good moral qualities, strong character, and innovative thinking; and diversify flexible, modern models for gathering young people.
At the same time, strongly and comprehensively innovate political, ideological, moral, and lifestyle education work; strengthen the application of digital technology and social media to inspire patriotism and the aspiration to contribute among young people. Alongside this, promote revolutionary action movements, especially the “I Love My Country” movement, ensuring that youth projects and tasks are directed toward grassroots areas, border regions, and ethnic and religious communities, and bring tangible value to the people; promote the pioneering role of youth in digital transformation, building new rural areas and civilized urban areas, and adapting to climate change.
The Congress held consultative elections and selected 50 comrades for the Committee of the Vietnam Youth Federation of An Giang Province, 1st Term, 2026–2029, and 5 comrades for the Committee’s Inspection Board.
At the meeting, the 1st Term, 1st Session of the An Giang Provincial Committee of the Vietnam Youth Federation held consultative elections for 17 comrades to the Secretariat, and also elected Comrade Thi Phuong Hong as Chairwoman of the Committee of the Vietnam Youth Federation of An Giang Province, 1st Term, 2026–2029.
The Congress comprehensively evaluated the results of the Federation’s work and youth movement for the 2024–2026 period, which left many notable marks. A standout was the “I Love My Country” movement, which was put into practice through organizing study sessions on Hồ Chí Minh’s ideology, ethics, and style for over 6,000 Federation cadres and extending it to nearly 195,000 members; implementing 577 legal propaganda activities and 456 gratitude programs worth over 2 billion VND in total. Notably, the pioneering spirit of youth was affirmed through 318 youth projects valued at more than 11 billion VND, along with community digital transformation activities such as “Market 4.0,” “Youth Digital Transformation Roads,” support for VNeID registration, and promotion of OCOP products. In innovation and entrepreneurship, An Giang youth contributed over 200 ideas and won the national third prize in 2025 with the project “Sệt – Lá Chúc Dipping Sauce.” The Federation organization was also strengthened, reaching over 164,000 members and achieving a mobilization rate of more than 67%. |
