The VFF President also affirmed that achievements in politics have helped provinces and cities in the Mekong River Delta region fulfill socio-economic targets, ensure defense and security and build a strong political system. He hoped that in the time to come, Military Region 9’s units would work closely with local Party committees, authorities and organizations to carry out effectively movements launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee and the fatherland front committees at all levels.
At present, the MR instructed agencies and units to keep in touch with local situations, promote their staff role to help deal with situations in a timely manner, carry out effectively policies for troops and their families and ensure a happy Tet for troops.
