Veterans Association of Vietnam’s Exemplary Meeting concerning the Campaign “Study and Follow the Ethical Example of President Ho Chi Minh”

The meeting was attended by Lieutenant General and Chairman of the Veterans Association of Vietnam (VAV) Tran Hanh, Lieutenant General and Vice Chairman of VAV Phung Khac Dang, Deputy Secretary of Dong Nai Standing Party Committee Le Hong Phuong, Vice Chairwoman of Dong Nai People’s Committee Huynh Thi Nga and the representatives for the VAVs in 32 regional provinces and cities.

Meeting

VAV’s campaign has been carried out fully for four years.

The campaign has attracted the broader participation of VAV staff and members nationwide, contributing to making Ho Chi Minh’s ideology and moral example more vivid in VAV’s political life.

In particular, VAV has associated the campaign with practical activities: thrift and waste combat to make itself clean and strong.

VAV has maintained the Party’s lines and views and preserved political security and public safety and order.

At the Party congress at all levels (2010-2015 term), VAV officers and members enthusiastically contributed ideas on the congress’s documents and personnel.

Over 60 percent of veterans were elected to take the positions at the levels of the Party committees in their localities.

Another outstanding activity of VAV is the campaign of hunger elimination, poverty reduction, leaked houses eradication and helping each other do business and get rich legally.

Until now, VAV has raised more than VND10 billion to make loans for veterans with the aim of helping them promote their production activities and to stabilize their lives.

Currently nearly 50 percent of veteran households have become rich and pretty rich.

Thanks to the launch of this campaign, many VAV groups and members have done many good and useful things for the collective, the community and the country to contribute to honoring the quality of "Uncle Ho's Troops" in a new period.
