The State leader made the statement at the second
congress of the VVBA, which was held in Hanoi on August 8.
He
noted with pleasure that many war veteran-entrepreneurs have been active in
applying advanced technology in their operations, creating jobs for thousands
of employees, and taking park in social activities.
The
veterans-turned-businessmen have established themselves as outstanding examples
of Uncle Ho’s soldiers, he stressed.
He
asked the association to continue popularising the Party’s guidelines and the
State’s policies and laws to its members, while drawing upon the socio-economic
development programmes and plans of the country.
He
called on the servicemen-entrepreneurs to raise their competitive advantage,
develop high added-value services, remain active in international integration,
and make further contributions to the socio-economic development in their
localities.
On
the occasion, President Quang presented the Labour Order, third class, to the
association and the Labour Order, first class, to the association’s President -
Labour Hero Le Van Kiem.
Launched
in April 2013, the VVBA now has 38 chapters with 7,728 businesses and 82,791
farms run by war veterans, with total revenues of nearly VND 200 trillion and
generating jobs for more than 800,000 employees.

After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.

Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
