PM Chính Attends National Great Unity Festival in Lạng Sơn

Lạng Sơn, The Gulf Observer: Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính attended the National Great Unity Festival yesterday, joining local residents in a remote mountainous area of Lạng Sơn Province to celebrate the 94th anniversary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s Traditional Day. The event, held in residential area No. 8, Na Sầm Town, Văn Lãng District, brought together leaders from various ministries, the Central Vietnam Fatherland Front, and officials from Cao Bằng and Lạng Sơn provinces.

During his visit, PM Chính extended warm congratulations to the 134 households, home to 590 residents from the Tày, Nùng, and Kinh ethnic groups. He highlighted the importance of unity and community resilience in addressing local challenges, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, healthcare, education, power, and internet access.

“Unity is a precious national tradition, honed over millennia,” PM Chính emphasized, stressing its importance as a force that drives Vietnam’s achievements. He noted that, in times of difficulty, the spirit of great unity shines brighter, contributing to the success of national socio-political and cultural goals.

The Prime Minister outlined the government’s continued commitment to improving the living conditions in remote and mountainous areas, including the eradication of dilapidated housing and the reduction of poverty. He underscored the government’s focus on fostering unity, which is key to the community’s success and growth.

PM Chính praised local residents for their perseverance and progress in both economic and cultural development. He encouraged them to continue promoting self-reliance and unity, particularly in supporting impoverished families, and reiterated the principle of “leaving no one behind.”

Addressing local concerns, the Prime Minister urged vigilance against efforts by destabilizing groups who seek to exploit ethnic and religious divisions. He also stressed the importance of solidarity in overcoming poverty and poor housing conditions, and called for support in completing the Đồng Đăng-Trà Lĩnh Expressway project, which will be crucial for local socio-economic development.

Echoing the teachings of late President Hồ Chí Minh on the power of unity, PM Chính expressed confidence that the people of area No. 8 and Lạng Sơn Province would continue to embody national unity both locally and globally through concrete actions. He also set the goal of meeting this year’s targets to lay a foundation for rapid, sustainable growth and improve the quality of life.

At the event, local residents proposed new ideas for socio-economic and cultural progress. Outstanding families and individuals were also recognized for their contributions to the community. In recent years, the local people have actively participated in building new-style rural areas and civilized urban communities, with every household now equipped with standard sanitary facilities and nearly 90% of residents covered by insurance.

The event celebrated the ongoing efforts of local communities in fostering unity, progress, and development across the region.
