Chairman of the Khanh Hoa People’s Committee Nguyen Dac Tai said the trip aims
to convey the profound attention that the Party, State, Defence Ministry, and
people nationwide pay to the safeguarding of the sacred sovereignty in the sea,
as well as to soldiers and residents in Truong Sa, which is also a district of
Khanh Hoa.
Such sentiment is a great support and encouragement for soldiers and residents
in Truong Sa to weather every difficulty to fulfil the heavy but glorious task
assigned by the Party and people, he noted.
Rear Admiral Nguyen Duc Vuong, Political Commissar of Naval Region 4, expressed
his belief that the officers and soldiers assuming new tasks in Truong Sa
