MND meets with national contributors from An Giang and Kon Tum

At the meeting with national contributors from An Giang province, Gen. Minh informed the guests of the whole military’s task performance over the past time. He said that the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense have led and directed agencies and units to actively and pro-actively cooperate with ministries and departments to make proposals to the Party and State on issuing and supplementing documents on policies for families of martyrs and national contributors and for troops’ families. These have helped improve the material and spiritual life of policy beneficiaries and the education for troops about the nation’s good tradition of “When drinking water, remember its source,” and “Gratitude-paying.”
