Delegate Phung Cong Suong - editor-in-chief of Tien Phong newspaper - said that promoting the role of youth in preserving and promoting the value of national cultural identity is not a big deal.

Delegate Nguyen Kieu Tuan Viet – Delegation of Phu Tho province – said that young people are the force that quickly accesses information technology. Therefore, if each young person is an ambassador to promote the cultural identity of their homeland, turning cultural identity into a strength to develop the economy and tourism.

According to her, in the coming time, the Association and the youth force need to pay more attention to the fight against bad, toxic, and anti -cultural information on the internet.

Yen also shared that many young people are very enthusiastic and devoted to their homeland, but lack a lot of knowledge and skills. For example, financial management skills, communication, marketing, sales skills...
