This year’s TNTN Summer Campaign is also an opportunity for Tay Ninh youth to demonstrate their pioneering role in the industrialization and modernization process.

In particular, activities such as popularizing digital education, supporting VNeID installation, building new rural areas, civilized urban areas, etc. are widely and effectively deployed”. In particular, implementing the policy of "3 links" (linking forces, localities, and communities) and supporting digital capacity building for youth and people is a strategic step, contributing to the success of the province's socio-economic development task in 2025.
