Vietnamese, Chinese youths exchange knowledge about environmental protection
In the framework of the ongoing third Vietnam-China Youth Festival, a forum on youths’ role in environmental protection and sustainable development was held in Ha Long city in the northern province of Quang Ninh on November 8.
During the forum, Vietnamese young people and their Chinese peers exchanged knowledge about environmental protection.
Speaking at the event, Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Quang Ninh chapter, highlighted the long-standing friendship between the two neighbouring countries.
The festival has contributed to educating Vietnamese and Chinese young people about the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, and allowed them to discuss how to promote their role in socialism construction in each nation, she said.
Li Guoyang, Deputy Secretary of China’s Communist Youth League in Anhui province, emphasised the important role played by young people in environmental protection and sustainable development.
It is necessary to step up the communication work, especially among young generations, to raise public awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development, he said.
Li Guoyang also called for the joining of agencies and sectors in each country as well as regional nations in this regard.
Liu Dan, a representative from China’s Tianjin province, said economic development needs to be combined with environmental protection, suggesting the application of biological methods in clean agricultural production.
Gong Jun, a representative from Anhui city, highlighted the need to change Chinese youths’ awareness of environmental protection. He hoped that there will be more and more people joining hands in environmental protection, thus helping improve the world’s biological system and spur sustainable development.
According to Vu Ngoc Linh, a delegate from Ha Long city, to turn Ha Long into a more civilised and friendly tourism city, it is necessary to raise the awareness of young people and the public in general of tourism activities and biological environment, particularly UNESCO-recognised Ha Long Bay.
In the same day, more than 200 youth representatives of Vietnam and China participated in a tree planting ceremony in Lao Cai province to solidify the two neighbours’ friendship.
The tree planting was part of the third Vietnam-China Youth Festival, which is taking place in various Vietnamese localities from November 7-10.
The trees will be nurtured by local youths and act as a testimony of the “forever green and forever sustainable” amity between the youths of the two countries, said Giang Quoc Hung, Secretary of the provincial chapter of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.
The planting aims to promote youth exchanges and encourage environmental protection, he added.
