Giving comments on the preparation work and technical support, the top legislator ordered competent units to organize the event in line with the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)’s charter as well as the host nation’s traditional culture and practical conditions.
Earlier, Chairman Hue thanked IPU, the IPU Forum of Young Parliamentarians, and Vietnamese ministries, sectors, and agencies for their close coordination to prepare for the event.
Being the only large multilateral parliamentary event of Vietnam in 2023, the conference is an opportunity to popularise Vietnam as a modern and dynamic country, that boasts a rich cultural identity and deeply integrates into the world, he stressed.

Assoc. Prof., Dr Dao Viet Hang from the Hanoi Medical University Hospital, a delegate to the conference, said she expects to devise more initiatives in capitalizing on digital transformation to improve healthcare capacity at the grassroots level and make it easier for people to get access to medical services.
The conference’s theme “the role of young people in accelerating sustainable development goals by digital transformation and innovation” is practical, thus a lot of issues will be tabled for discussion, Hang said.
Amidst the 4th Industrial Revolution, the youth should equip themselves with the necessary knowledge and skills to keep pace with digital transformation, she added, pointing out that specific mechanisms and support policies should be sketched out to encourage young people to develop innovative projects, which are important to the national development.
