The ceremony, attended by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, was organized in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the National Resistance Day, 77th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA), and the 32nd Whole People’s Defense Festive Day. It was also an occasion to honor outstanding individuals and groups in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the call of the Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and the CMC’s directions on COVID-19 prevention and control, troops of the whole military, with high determination, have actively supported COVID-19-affected people.
During the fourth pandemic’s outbreak, over 140,000 troops and militiamen were mobilized to take part in the fight against the pandemic, while well managing the border areas to curb the spread of the disease, and ensure social security and order, among others.
Over the past 77 years of construction, combat and development, the VPA has always stood side by side with the people. The military-civilian ties have been further deepened since the first outbreak of the pandemic.
Reportedly, more than 600 military medical teams have joined the COVID-19 fight across the country. They have taken care of COVID-19 infections, including many severe cases.
Amid the complicated developments of the pandemic, the image of the soldiers shines in every corner, deserving the title “Uncle Ho’s soldiers” in the special battlefield against the pandemic.
