Hanoi (VNA) – As part of the Quang Trung Campaign, the army has built, repaired, and handed over nearly 400 homes to residents affected by recent natural disasters, according to the Ministry of National Defence.

General Phan Van Giang, Politburo member, Deputy Secretary of the Central Military Commission and Minister of National Defence, has sent a letter of encouragement to officers, soldiers, and militia members participating in the campaign, which rebuilds and repairs homes for people affected by natural disasters in the central provinces from Ha Tinh to Lam Dong.

Implementing the directives of the Politburo, the Party Central Committee's Secretariat, the Prime Minister, the Central Military Commission, and the Ministry of National Defence, officers and soldiers from military agencies, regions, corps, services and arms, together with the militia, in Military Regions 4, 5 and 7, have actively engaged in the campaign. Upholding the proud traditions of the Vietnam People’s Army and the noble qualities of “Uncle Ho’s Soldiers”, they demonstrated a spirit of determination, decisiveness, and rapid action, guided by the principle that “wherever difficulties and dangers arise, soldiers are there to offer support.”

Forces have promptly developed plans, mobilised personnel, equipment and materials, and formed mobile construction and repair teams. Working in close coordination with local authorities, these teams were deployed to affected areas to rebuild and repair homes for residents.

With the determination that “work does not stop even when it rains,” and with the goal of ensuring all affected families have safe housing before the Lunar New Year (Tet) of 2026, the entire army has so far constructed, repaired, and handed over nearly 400 houses, with absolute safety guaranteed.

On behalf of the Central Military Commission and leaders of the Ministry of National Defence, Minister Giang commended the strong sense of responsibility and tireless efforts demonstrated by participating forces throughout the campaign.

He expressed confidence that officers and soldiers will continue to uphold revolutionary heroism, the tradition of “Determined to Fight, Determined to Win” of the Vietnam People's Army, and the spirit of solidarity and mutual support to overcome difficulties and complete the campaign ahead of schedule, no later than January 12, 2026, helping affected residents stabilise their lives and welcome the Year of the Horse 2026 in warmth, safety, and happiness./.
