Military unit opens “Zero dong” stalls to support the poor

This was among practical activities launched by MR 9’s affiliated units and military commands of cities and provinces in MR 9 and directed by the MR 9 Command in the hope that they could partly ease the difficulties facing local people amid the complicated developments of the pandemic.

Major General Nguyen Minh Trieu, Deputy Commanding General of MR 9, said that after the first stall was opened by the An Giang provincial Military Command, more and more such stalls will be erected by units in the region in the coming time with goods valued at over 15 billion VND. Funding for the stalls was contributed by MR 9’s troops and other sponsors.
