Addressing the event, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen appreciated the timely support of organisations and individuals, saying that during the most difficult time of the fight against COVID-19, the locality received valuable assistance of nearly 30,000 people nationwide.

These forces have worked closely with the Party Committee and people of HCM City in the fight, reducing the number of COVID-19 infections and fatalities, thereby helping the city gradually control the pandemic.

On behalf of the municipal Party Committee and people, Nen thanked the leadership and direction of the Party, State and VFF, the ministries of Health, Defence, and Public Security, religious organisations, domestic and international organisations, doctors, medical workers, and volunteers for their support for HCM City in recent times.

On the occasion, the Chairman of municipal People’s Committee presented certificates of merit to 55 organisations and bagdes of the city to 115 individuals for their contributions to the locality’s COVID-19 prevention and control./.
