The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the largest organization of young people in Vietnam, will plant 20 million trees this year, said first secretary of the Central Committee of the union Bui Quang Huy.
The Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union on Saturday cooperated with the Party Committee and the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh Province in northern Vietnam to launch the Tet tree planting movement.
At the launching ceremony, Huy informed that young people nationwide would plant 1.9 million trees on the day. In Hoa Binh alone, young people planted 30,000 trees.

Huy also asked each young person to plant, take care of, and protect at least a tree in their workplaces, schools, and residences.
He required the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union at all levels to come up with solutions to apply technology and digital transformation to counting and managing trees.
