Lieutenant Colonel Pham Tien Diep, Secretary of the Party Committee and Political Commissar of Truong Sa Island, shared that during the lunar New Year 2025, the island’s chain-of-command planned various traditional games for soldiers and residents, including sack races, ring toss, tug-of-war, and football.

These activities not only help improve physical fitness but also create a lively and festive atmosphere for the new year. Alongside these celebrations, combat readiness remains a top priority, with all forces on Truong Sa Island maintaining strict vigilance to safeguard the nation’s sea and islands.

The People’s Army Newspaper would like to introduce some images on the occasion.
