(Photo: VNA)Speaking at the gathering with the groups, the NA Chairman urged local authorities and mass organisations to prepare the best possible conditions for local people to celebrate Tet, which is the biggest festival in a year for Vietnamese, in a joyous, healthy, safe, and economical manner.
He laid emphasis on the need to study and build mechanisms to help disadvantaged families and individual to sustainably escape poverty. For those facing extreme difficulties and lacking the capacity to rise above poverty, the authority should move them to the category of social welfare beneficiaries for ongoing care and support, the leader noted.
At the event, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour, and the Vietnam Red Cross Society Central Committee presented 600 gifts to the groups. Meanwhile, Chairman of the NA's Council for Ethnic Affairs Y Thanh Ha Nie Kdam handed over a token of 300 million VND (12,189 USD), mobilised from social sources, to support disadvantaged ethnic minority people in the province.
On the same day, the top legislator visited, extended Tet greetings, and presented gifts to the armed forces of the province.
He commended the forces for effectively collaborating with each other in military affairs and local defence, ensuring political security, public order and crime prevention, as well as participating in social welfare activities./.
