He expressed his hope that the programme will develop further, thus spreading the profound humanistic spirit and significance to many localities throughout the country.
Nam Dinh province also needs to have preferential policies for relatives of naval officers and soldiers to make them feel secure while on duty far from home, he added.
On December 31, 2021, the programme also donated 80 million VND (3,524 USD) to the family of soldier La Van Viet, who died while on duty in the Naval Region 4 and presented saving books worth 5 million VND each to several policy beneficiaries in Nghia Phu commune, Nghia Hung district of the northern province.
In the past nine years, the programme has raised over 52 billion VND for charitable activities./.
