Hue expressed his delight that in addition to the attention and care of the Party and State, Party committees, authorities, the Fatherland Front and socio-political organisations at all levels have mobilised individuals and organisations to contribute to the Fund For the Poor and the Tet programme, thereby taking care of poor, near-poor households and people with difficult circumstances to enjoy a happy Tet holiday.
