The Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) should pay special attention to strengthening its supervisory role and participating into the building of the Party and the State as this now is a crucial demand, the head of state said on January 27.
Addressing the VFF Central Committee’s second meeting (seventh tenure) in Ho Chi Minh City, State President Nguyen Minh Triet asked the VFF to concentrate on diversifying forms of mobilisation so as to rally the entire people into various movements to strengthen the country and make it more prosperous.
VFF chapters at all levels should work to promote the people’s rights as well as their wider engagement in building the Party and the State and in diplomatic activities, President Triet said.
During their two-day meeting, participants are scheduled to review the VFF’s action programme in 2009, outline a new programme for 2010, and pass a draft for operational regulations of the VFF Central Committee, the Presidium and the VFF Central Committee’s Standing Board.
President of the VFF Central Committee Huynh Dam requested that the action programme for 2010 should help maximise the VFF’s role and influence in the country’s upcoming development phase.
In 2009, the VFF raised more than 974 billion VND from its ‘for the poor’ movement, which was used to build and repair 124,000 houses for needy households.
Also last year, the VFF joined hands with the State and other social funds to build nearly 60,000 houses for disadvantaged people in the country’s 62 poor districts.
Apart from that, the VFF launched a movement called “Noi vong tay lon” –from which it raised nearly 5 trillion VND for the poor.
It plans to establish seven advisory councils working in the fields of democracy-law, culture-society, science-technology, economy, ethnicity, religion, external relations and affairs relating to overseas Vietnamese to help it promptly address problems that may arise during its operations./.
