At the meeting, Sr. Capt. Do Hong Duyen noted that every time the Lunar New Year approaches, people across the country send their deep and heartfelt affection to officers and soldiers performing duties at the nation’s frontiers, at sea, and on islands.

This working delegation will bring letters and Tet gifts from those on the mainland to officers and soldiers performing duties at sea and on islands. Participating reporters will convey vivid and authentic portrayals of daily life, silent sacrifices, and the firm resolve of our military and people to safeguard national maritime sovereignty.

He requested that officers and sailors of the two vessels, Truong Sa 01 and Truong Sa 19 of Naval Squadron 1 under Brigade 125, strictly comply with operational orders; pay attention to, assist, and create the best possible conditions for delegates and journalists, thereby strengthening military–civilian solidarity.
