Hosted by the ruling Mongolian People's Party (MPP), the meeting brought together 47 delegates from 18 political parties across 12 Asian countries, along with nearly 100 young Mongolian representatives. It built on the success of the previous ICAPP Youth Wing Meeting and the 7th ICAPP Women's Wing Meeting held in Mongolia last August, according to Vietnamnet.

Discussions centered on the opportunities and challenges faced by young people in engaging with national parliaments and political activities. Delegates shared practical solutions and experiences to encourage youth participation in social and political life, including support for training, access to finance and healthcare, job creation, and entrepreneurship opportunities. They also highlighted the importance of youth leadership in sci-tech, innovation, and creativity.

The event concluded with the Ulaanbaatar Declaration, reaffirming the commitment of participating parties to promote youth involvement in politics and social development. The declaration, with the slogan "We Say YES to Youth in Parliament," aims to increase youth representation in national parliaments.

On the sidelines of the event, the Vietnamese delegation held meetings with ICAPP Co-Chairman Chung Eui-yong and ICAPP Secretary-General Kwon Hee-seog to explore ways to promote cooperation between the CPV and ICAPP.

They also held working sessions with representatives of the ruling MPP and the Mongolian Democratic Party to discuss further strengthening bilateral relations on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Vietnam-Mongolia diplomatic ties this year.

Leaders from the ICAPP, Mongolian political parties, and other participants commended Vietnam's recent achievements in socio-economic development and foreign policy. They acknowledged the CPV's positive contributions to the overall success of the ICAPP and expressed a common desire to further strengthen friendly exchanges and practical cooperation with Vietnam in the future.

Speaker of the Parliament of Mongolia Zandanshatar Gombojav delivered a speech at the meeting.

"The Mongolian People's Party has been actively involved in the activities of Asian political parties since 2004. I have been a member of the organization's Standing Committee since 2013. We will be happy to contribute to the development and reform of political parties. Our party strives not only to increase the number of young parliamentarians but also to create a parliament that includes all representatives of society in the upcoming regular elections. We are also opening up opportunities for youth to participate in politics, policies, and decisions," he said.

The Speaker stressed that young people can get involved in politics in many other ways besides participating in elections, voting, and being elected to parliament. One of them is digital transformation. The "D-parliament" has recently been introduced to support citizen participation in legislative activities in Mongolia, the Speaker added.

The International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) is an international association of political parties from Asia and Oceania.
