Addressing the ceremony, General Vinh affirmed that over the past year, the Central Military Commission, MND leaders and chains-of-command in the military have actively taken care of the family protection and children education work with good results. Annually, thousands of children with disabilities, children in extremely difficult circumstances, children who are martyrs’ relatives and orphans have received meaningful support from the MND’s Children Protection Fund. Meanwhile, thousands of troops’ households in difficult circumstances and policy families have been supported to develop economy, among others.
In order to achieve set targets, General Vinh requested units in the whole military to well implement policies of family and children work, and create favorable conditions for troops and their children.
Meanwhile, military units should boost dissemination and education work so that troops would strictly implement the Law on Children, children’s rights, Law on Marriage and Family, and Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control. In addition, units in the whole military should actively support needy children and those in remote and mountainous areas, and disabled ones.
The defense leader requested troops’ households and military workers to continue to promote traditional cultural values, and build a progressive, equal and happy family.
On the occasion, the organizing board presented scholarships to martyrs’ children, and offered bicycles to children whose parents are needy naval troops and children under the program “The Navy supports fishermen’s children.”
