The event was co-organized by the National Traffic Safety Committee, Ho Chi Minh Youth Union Central Committee and Hanoi Municipal Youth Union. Minister of Transportation Dinh La Thang stressed that traffic accidents have not only claimed lives of many people, affect socio-economic development but also cause serious consequences to the society and families. He added the Youth Union should get involved further in the effort to improve the situation. Minister Thang said: " In the year of traffic safety in 2013, Youth Union from central to local levels should take measures and implement effectively the youth with traffic culture program approved by the Government. The National Traffic Safety Committee will work closely with the Youth Union to implement all measures with the main focus on raising responsibility of the people who undertake public duties and people's awareness of traffic safety".
