Under the theme “Hanoi Youth: Igniting Aspirations - Leading with Creativity - Acting with Responsibility,” the dialogue aims to collect ideas and proposals from young participants to support Hanoi’s socio-economic growth.
Key discussion topics include building a healthy educational environment, developing digital citizens, advancing youth participation in science, technology, innovation and digital transformation as well as fostering economic development and international exchange.
The meeting will gather about 250 delegates, including representatives from the Hanoi Party Committee, People’s Council and People’s Committee, the Central Youth Union Secretariat, city departments and agencies, youth organizations and and exemplary young individuals from various sectors.
The dialogue is part of the city’s plan to implement the Youth Law No. 57/2020/QH14 and related government decrees on youth engagement.

Discussions centered on three key themes, including “Green Hanoi”, “Cultural Hanoi” and “Civilized and Modern Hanoi”.
