HA NOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach – 15 September 2023 – On behalf of the Nationwide Meeting of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Vietnamese folks, I’m happy to warmly welcome the President, the Secretary Normal of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the President of the IPU Board of the Discussion board of Younger Parliamentarians, member and observer parliamentary delegations, and invited visitors to the the ninth International Convention of Younger Parliamentarians held in Hanoi – town for peace, the capital of hundreds of years of Vietnamese tradition.

Vietnam proposed the initiative and was very honoured and proud to be chosen by the IPU because the host nation of the ninth International Convention of Younger Parliamentarians. Inheriting the success of the 132nd IPU Meeting in 2015, the twenty sixth Annual Assembly of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Discussion board (APPF) in 2016, and the forty first Normal Meeting of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Meeting (AIPA) in 2020, the Vietnamese Nationwide Meeting’s internet hosting of this occasion continues to affirm Vietnam’s lively and accountable participation within the IPU. On the identical time, it reveals Vietnam’s precedence and concern for younger folks and world present problems with the youth.

After 37 years of implementing Doi Moi (Renewal) course of, since 1986, Vietnam has gained necessary, complete and traditionally important achievements. Vietnam has obtained miracles in constructing new-style rural areas and sustainable poverty discount, being a shiny spot in implementing the Millennium Targets and the UN Sustainable Improvement Agenda (SDGs) in the direction of 2030, and has dedicated to attaining internet zero emissions by 2050. The nation’s annual financial progress reaches a excessive degree of about 6 per 12 months. The size of Gross Home Product (GDP) in 2022 at present costs ranked thirty eighth on the earth. Based mostly on buying energy parity (PPP), in response to the Worldwide Financial Fund (IMF), Vietnam ranks tenth in Asia and twenty fourth on the earth. Whole import-export turnover in 2022 topped practically US$735 billion, making Vietnam amongst high 20 nations with the biggest international commerce turnover on the earth. Vietnam has additionally been profitable in attracting Overseas Direct Funding with so way over 37,000 funding initiatives from 143 nations and territories price a registered capital of practically $450 billion.

Vietnam has made efforts to grasp two 100-year targets:

By 2030 which falls on the one hundredth founding anniversary of the Communist Get together of Vietnam, Vietnam appears to turn out to be a growing nation with a contemporary industrial base and middle-income inhabitants; and by 2045, which falls on the one hundredth anniversary of the nation’s institution, Vietnam shall be a developed and high-income nation.

We’re getting into the third decade of the twenty first century with numerous unpredictable occasions. For the primary time, the entire world skilled the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedented scale and incurring losses far exceeding all predictions. It may be mentioned that by no means earlier than has the political, financial and worldwide safety surroundings confronted so many difficulties and challenges concurrently immediately. The persistent and complicated affect of the pandemic, mixed with geopolitical tensions and conflicts, competitors, strategic separation, fluctuations and instability within the meals, vitality, monetary and financial markets, decline in funding, disruption of provide chains have erased many achievements of poverty discount and improvement over the previous a long time. These all have posed huge, multi-dimensional difficulties, each within the rapid and long run for a lot of nations all over the world. The implementation of the UN’s SDGs is slowing down, making it tough to finish the targets. As well as, non-traditional safety points, particularly the detrimental impacts of local weather change, are instantly affecting the folks, safety and improvement of each nation.

However we nonetheless have the proper to be optimistic and hopeful concerning the future. Peace, cooperation and improvement are nonetheless the principle circulate and massive development. The world has overcome the pandemic. The pandemic doesn’t make us collapse, however makes us extra united and stronger. The developments of digital transformation, inexperienced transformation and innovation are being extensively promoted. Whereas globalisation faces difficulties, a sequence of recent financial linkage and cooperation initiatives at each regional and world ranges proceed to be accelerated. A world with out warfare and a society with out starvation and poverty are a want and a typical objective of world cooperation efforts.

With the theme “The Position of Younger Folks in Selling the Realisation of Sustainable Improvement Targets through Digital Transformation and Improvements ” and thematic dialogue classes on digital transformation, innovation and entrepreneurship and selling respect for cultural variety for sustainable improvement, I like to recommend delegates focus on the content material as follows:

First, what must be carried out and easy methods to adjust to and guarantee worldwide regulation and the UN Constitution, which serves as a key situation to protect and domesticate peace, cooperation and sustainable improvement?

Second, the position of developed nations, worldwide organisations, the enterprise neighborhood and younger folks in addressing world points, for instance, sustainable and protected digital transformation; equitable vitality transition, adaptation to local weather change and powerful diffusion of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Third, to be able to make folks and companies to really be the centre of all selections within the improvement course of, each the objective, the driving power and the fundamental useful resource in all sources, what and the way do we have to proceed to do in planning, implementing legal guidelines and organising actions in the direction of the happiness of the folks?

Fourth, selling cultural and human values in sustainable improvement, selling respect for cultural variety within the context of the 4th industrial revolution; tightening cooperation in innovating methods to function the economic system, sharply growing labour productiveness, creating new driving forces for financial progress, and on the identical time, serving to State companies function extra transparently, successfully on the digitalisation roadmap, to slender the event hole and guarantee nationwide sovereignty in addition to private privateness in our on-line world.

Fifth, I recommend that IPU analysis and set up a community of world younger parliamentarians on innovation to trade and study from one another’s expertise.

Late President Ho Chi Minh – the genius chief of the Vietnamese folks and the world cultural celeb – used the picture of spring – essentially the most lovely season of the 12 months to explain the youth: “A 12 months begins within the spring. A life begins in youth. Youth is the spring of society”. He additionally mentioned: “Youth are the long run house owners of the nation. In-deed, prosperity or decline, energy or weak-ness of the nation all come from youth.”

Youth and younger persons are the power taking up the mission and historic accountability within the integration and improvement of every nation and the widespread prosperity of the world. I imagine that each younger parliamentarian from member parliaments will promote their intelligence, youth, creativity, accountability and enthusiasm to actively contribute to the success of the convention.

With that sturdy perception, I wish to declare the opening of the ninth International Convention of Younger Parliamentarians.

Wishing you good well being and happiness.

Wishing the younger parliamentarians have productive working days in addition to fascinating and memorable expertise in our lovely and hospitable nation!
