Vietnamese youth steadfast under the Party’s flag

The 95th anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931 – March 26, 2026) marks not only a proud historical milestone but also an occasion to reflect on the dedication, growth and contributions of generations of Vietnamese youth. Under the Party’s leadership, the Union has continuously grown into a pioneering force across all fronts, from production and study to innovation and national defence.
