At the conference to collect opinions of young people for the draft documents of the 12th Party Congress held by the Central Committee of Vietnam Youth Union on October 21, Hung said that before 1971, many young people were trained as officers and generals for the postwar period.

At that time, the Military Technical Academy’s officials were sent to all schools in Northern Vietnam to select excellent students, disregarding who they were, whether they were the children of officials of not.

Hung emphasized that in training the young generation, all young people must be offered equal opportunity.

Hung said that if all the people, the entire Party and the heads are interested in training the young generation, the country will never have to "burn the torch to find qualified officials."

Former Chairman of the National Assembly’s Committee for External Affairs Vu Mao.

Former Chairman of the National Assembly’s Committee for External Affairs Vu Mao proposed the Party to pay special attention to training, fostering, transferring, appointing and promoting young officials at all levels, including the central level.

Mao said that he joined the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee at the age of 31. He said that it is normal for a provincial Party Committee’s member to be 30. It is important that the official must be virtuous, talented and experienced.

For young officials, Mr. Vu Mao stressed that newly graduated officers who work in central agencies should take further practice in life because officials must understand the people.

Listening to the comments, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee (VFF) Nguyen Thien Nhan said that Vietnam currently has 500,000 enterprises but in the next five years, the number is expected to be one million enterprises.

He asked the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union to implement a program to establish 200 new-style cooperatives in the next 5 years, in which the young will be cooperative managers.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoa, Deputy Director of HCM City Department of Trade and Industry, said that currently the cooperatives are weak at management capacity, application of science and technology in production, and in investment capital.

Hoa suggested that the Central Committee of the Vietnam Youth Union set up a force that is similar to the voluntary youth forces to build the new-style cooperatives, which can solve weaknesses.

According to Hoa, to build the new generation of administrators, breakthrough policies should be included in the Resolution of the 12th Party Congress to attract and promote a young and well-trained workforce in cooperatives.

The VFF Chairman said that the new-style cooperatives should be formed in the agricultural sector. Each province needs to have only three youth cooperatives; the country will have 200 youth cooperatives, he said.

He hoped to attract young people who have the will and training in management, who have good business ideas to participate in the national business start-up program, which will be launched by the VFF and the Vietnam Youth Union in the near future.

Trang Seo Pao said the project was about to be completed but participants were still busy with half-done works in poor communes.

The young vice chairs wanted the Party and the State to have policies to support young intellectuals to stay longer in poor communes after the 600 Deputy Chair Project concludes.

VFF Chairman Doan Nguyen Thien Nhan asked the Vietnam Youth Union’s Central Committee to seek measures to support youth in sci-tech research and to form an effective labor market for the youth as well as review the results of the 600 Deputy Chair Project early so that the project will be continued after the 12th Party Congress.
