An exchange with exemplary individuals over the past 10 years of implementation of the movement

Addressing the meeting, Vice Chairwoman of Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee and Head of the Steering Committee of the “All people unite to build a cultural life” movement Huynh Thi Nga highly appreciated the past ten year achievements of the movement.

Ngay said that this is a large-scale and strategic movement which has broadly and deeply developed and received the enthusiastic response of the people. The movement has made considerable contributions to Dong Nai’s socio-economic development.

But many local authorities sometimes are still chasing after achievements. The percentage of prostitution, drug addiction and traffic accidents have not decreased sustainably.

Also, Nga made the following suggestions:

+ In the coming time, it is a necessity to mobilize the strength of the Party and the people to take part in the movement associated with the "Study and follow President Ho Chi Minh’s ethical example" campaign.

+ Build new models for large-scale introduction, focus on the real quality of the movement and don’t chase after achievements.

+ Organize training courses for leader staff towards the implementation of the movement, especially grassroots movements.

To make sure that the movement goes together with quality and efficiency, Nga requested that all levels of authorities and sectors have a close collaboration, update contents and methods of operation and pay more attention to ethnic minority groups in far-flung and ethnic areas and boarding-house workers.

On this occasion, Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee awarded certificates of merit to 92 collectives, 30 households and 99 individuals obtaining excellent achievements over 10 years of implementation of the “All people unite to build a cultural life” movement.
