Activities of the 2020 summer volunteer youth campaign should be arranged in an effective and innovative manner, while ensuring safety for participants amid the COVID-19 pandemic, said Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh.

Mr. Binh also asked ministries, sectors and local authorities to create optimal conditions for the successful implementation of the volunteer campaign in activities dedicated to policy beneficiaries, heroic Vietnamese mothers and vulnerable groups, as well as residents in remote and mountainous, border and island regions, among others.
