(HBO) - The Hoa Binh provincial chapter of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) on July 19 convened its 9th meeting, attended by Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People's Council Bui Duc Hinh, and Vice Chairwoman of the provincial People's Council Nguyen Thi Cam Phuong.
Bui Tien Luc, head of
the provincial Party Committee's Commission for Mass Mobilisation and Chairman
of the provincial VFF chapter, presents flowers to the two new members of the
15th provincial Fatherland Front Committee.
At the event, participants listened to and provided feedback
on reports regarding the outcomes of the front work and the local
socio-economic situation in the first half as well as the Front's tasks and
socio-economic solutions set out for the last half.
In the first six months of the year, the provincial VFF
committee at all levels effectively implemented the set tasks. As a result, the
provincial fund for the poor allocated 14.6 billion VND (617,597 USD) to
support the construction and repair of 229 charity houses, production development,
and medical treatment for needy people; while the local relief fund provided
153 million VND to those in hardship. The province maintained the operation of
over 3,500 self-management models. The Front chapter coordinated the
organisation of many meetings with voters, 321 supervision missions, and 134
social critical conferences.
In the last six months of this year, the focus is set to be
on implementing five work programmes that prioritise consolidating and
promoting the strength of the national great solidarity in building the
homeland and the country.
Addressing the conference, Hinh recommended the Front's
works involving communications and public mobilisation continue to be
overhauled and enhanced. People's opinions must be heard and and the sector
must coordinate with the authorities to address pressing issues at the
grassroots level, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of the people.
It is also necessary to actively make moves to ensure social
security, he noted.
At the conference, the provincial union of friendship
organisations was approved to join the front committee, with its two members
voted to be new members of the committee.
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.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
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.
