“Tet for compatriots 2025” program spreads love to local community.

Speaking at the event, Director of the Humanitarian Television and Head of the organizers Pham Van Ha said that Nguyen Binh district was selected for this program this year because it is one of the most disadvantaged districts in Cao Bang province. Local ethnic people are living in hard conditions and were badly affected by the recent storm No.3. Therefore, the program’s organizing panel wished to bring early and warm Tet to these people, helping spreading local people’s cultural identity.

This was the sixth edition of meaningful and diverse program. In previous years, the program reached Thanh Hoa, Yen Bai, Lao Cai, Lang Son, Hoa Binh and Son La provinces.
