Ho Chi Minh City reinforces bond with forces protecting sea and islands

The Ho Chi Minh City delegation presents gifts to soldiers and people of Truong Sa islands.

Rear Admiral Nguyen Anh Tuan, Commander of Naval Region 4, hosted the reception.

Speaking at the working session, Nguyen Phuoc Loc affirmed that joining hands with the armed forces to protect the national sovereignty is considered a “command from the heart” of every resident. This spirit has been realized through the “For national sea and islands - For Fatherland front-line” campaign, which has received strong support from all walks of life.

In response to the “Greening Truong Sa (Spratly) Islands” program, the delegation coordinated the Naval Region 4 Command to implement “compassionate vegetable gardens” on islands. On this occasion, the delegation inaugurated a reception room at the Naval Region 4 Command’s hall and donated VND 500 million to assist the command in caring for troops’ living standards.

The delegation hands over the reception room at the Naval Region 4 Command’s hall.

Earlier the same day, the delegation conducted a survey at Brigade 955 (Naval Region 4) to prepare for the construction of significant cultural projects, including the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space, a hall of fame, and a library.
