Also on the occasion of the upcoming lunar New Year (Tet) festival, the State leader attended a program titled “Tet for the poor and dioxin victims”, and presented gifts to 100 beneficiaries of State preferential policies and underprivileged households in Cu Chi district.

He extended his Tet wishes to locals, and appreciated efforts made by authorities of Ho Chi Minh City and Cu Chi district to care for policy beneficiaries, poor people and Agent Orange/dioxin victims.

The President expressed his gratitude for the sacrifice of people who rendered service to the nation, encouraging them to become role models in abiding by the Party’s policies and the State’s laws so others people, especially young generations, can follow.

The leader also paid Tet visits to several intellectuals in the city.
