Addressing the event, Deputy Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Huy Hau incited locals, officials and union members to actively implement environmental protection and mitigate the effects of climate change.
All Vietnamese citizens working and living in the country are encouraged to submit their images to the competition from now until August 20, 2015.
