In addition to that, over the past years, the local Party Organization, authorities, and armed forces have well carried out policy work and paid attention to troops’ families. They have effectively implemented gratitude activities by repairing houses and presenting savings books to disadvantaged families of enlistees. The total cost of the activities was VND 7.6 trillion. The dissemination and education to mobilize local people to combat wrongful views have been carried out effectively, contributing to foiling the schemes and tricks of hostile forces.
