On behalf of the Party Committee and the School's Board of Directors, Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Khanh congratulated the Congress, expressing confidence that the Executive Committee for the sixth term will continue to uphold the traditions of the School's Youth Union in its activities, truly becoming the right hand of the School's Party Committee. Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Khanh also outlined three tasks that the school's youth need to strive to accomplish in the new era.

Firstly, the Youth Union needs to focus on educating and nurturing revolutionary ideals, aspirations, and dreams for its members in their lives and studies.

Secondly, the Student Union needs to research and adjust its organizational model and operating methods to suit the credit-based training system.

Thirdly, there needs to be a plan to build and develop a team of youth union officials from the branch level, inter-branch level to the school level. To achieve this, a selection process is necessary to find outstanding and capable members to serve as youth union officials.(Watch the video)
