Bui Duy Minh, captain of ship KN365, shared that the election is a particularly important political event for the country and a festival of the whole people. Therefore, the ship has thoroughly briefed officers and personnel on the significance of the election, while encouraging them to carefully study and learn about the candidates before casting their ballots.

Ballots cast at sea not only demonstrate the sacred rights and duties of citizens, but also affirm the responsibility and confidence of the fisheries surveillance force in the country’s development. They also underscore the determination to firmly safeguard national sovereignty over sea and islands.
