Hanoi (VNA) – A ceremony was held inHanoi on July 18 to present certificates honouring the service andcontributions of 498 fallen soldiers to their family members.

Addressing the event, National AssemblyChairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said the Party, State and people always bear inmind the great contributions of millions of soldiers and citizens who havesacrificed their lives for national independence and reunification.

She stressed that the Party, State and peopledemonstrate the gratitude through policies on preferential treatment to thosewho rendered services to the nation.

However, a large number of revolutionarycontributors have yet to be recognised for preferential treatment due to lossof documents, which is a problem of great concern for the Party, State andpeople, the NA leader said, noting that there are around 30,000 pending cases.

Minister of Labour, War Invalids and SocialAffairs Dao Ngoc Dung said more than nine million people have to date beenrecognised as revolutionary contributors, including 1.2 million war martyrs,127,000 heroic mothers and 800,000 war invalids.
