Speaking at the launching ceremony, Nguyen Tran Phuong Ha, Deputy Secretary of the Dong Nai Provincial Youth Union, stated that over the years, Youth Union branches at all levels across the province have widely implemented the movement "Dong Nai Youth join hands to build new rural areas" and the project "HCM Communist Youth Union's participation in environmental protection and climate change response."

After more than a decade of implementation, the movement and the project have attracted a large number of youth union members and young people, contributing significantly to the fulfillment of environmental criteria in the national new rural development program. These efforts have gradually improved the material and spiritual lives of rural communities. At the same time, the initiatives have highlighted the role of youth officials and members in raising public awareness, protecting the environment, and advancing agriculture, farmers, and rural development.
