The NA Chairman called on the Party organisation, authorities, and people of An Giang to preserve and promote the site’s values so that it becomes a “red address” for educating younger generations about revolutionary traditions, fostering patriotism, self-reliance, and aspirations to contribute. This would help further promote the strength of the great national unity bloc, overcome challenges, and build An Giang into an increasingly prosperous locality, contributing to the country’s steady advance into a new era of prosperity and strength.

On this occasion, he presented 50 gift packages to war invalids and revolution contributors in the locality.

The same day, the top legislator visited the family of Bui Van Truyen, an Agent Orange victim and war invalid, and Tran Thuy Can, the wife of a martyr, in Rach Gia ward, An Giang province.

He inquired about their health and their families, affirming that the Party, State, and people always remember nation contributors' great contributions and sacrifices in the struggle for national liberation, reunification, and national defence.

He expressed his hope that war invalids and families of those who rendered service to the nation will continue to serve as a spiritual pillar, encouraging younger generations to uphold revolutionary traditions and contribute to building an ever more prosperous homeland./.

Two-tier local administration model runs smoothly: ministry

After slashing layers of bureaucracy and pushing more power down to the commune level, a substantial volume of work has shifted to the grassroots officials. In many areas, the workforce is unevenly skilled, with a shortage of specialists. Additionally, certain units operate across multiple locations, making management, coordination, and day-to-day operations a real mess.
