Tree-planting festival held in MR9’s unit
PANO – Military Region 9 (MR9)’s Second-in-Command Major General Nguyen Minh Trieu, on March 5, attended a ceremony to launch a tree-planting festival in its Brigade 950.
Stationed in the sea and islands terrain of Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province, over the past time, the unit’s troops have actively responded to the movements of “Voluntary Saturday” and “Green Sunday,” among others, contributing to building the Green – Clean – Beautiful Phu Quoc city and beautifying the unit’s barracks.
Reportedly, the brigade planted over 50,000 trees around its barracks and in training fields so far.
In the coming time, General Trieu requested the unit to promote dissemination programs to raise troops’ awareness of the importance of tree planting and forestation as well as forest protection, in response to natural disaster and climate change.
Meanwhile, the brigade should also closely work with local authorities to promote advanced scientific and technical application to improve productivity and economical value of planted trees, he concluded.
