Praising the unit’s recorded achievements over the past time, General Nam also requested the unit to carry out effectively military-defense missions and policies for troops and their families and national contributors in 2018.

Last year, the province’s armed forces paid attention to implementing military and defense missions with the focus on instructions of the Ministry of National Defense, Military Region 9 and the provincial Party Committee and People’s Committee on combat readiness mission, training, exercises, enlistment and local military and defense tasks.

At the meeting, Secretary of Hau Giang provincial People’s Committee Lu Van Hung briefed upon the local socio-economic development and affirmed the important role of the provincial armed forces in the development of the province. He hoped that the Ministry of National Defense and Military Region 9 Command will foster their instruction role to build a regular, elite and increasingly modernized military to meet the requirements of national construction and protection missions in the new period.

On the occasion, General Nam wished troops of the province good health and a new year full of successes. The Deputy Chief of the General Staff presented Lunar New Year gifts to the provincial Military Command and Military Command of Vi Thanh City.
