The Government leader emphasised that over revolutionary periods, especially the struggles for national independence and reunification, defence of the border, and the performance of international missions, generations of Vietnamese people have bravely devoted their lives to national construction and safeguarding the people’s peace and happiness, and many have fallen down or sustained wounds.
He also highlighted the development of the “Paying the Debt of Gratitude” movement in society, the building and upgrading of martyr graves, cemeteries and monuments, as well as the fruitful search for, repatriation and identification of martyr remains; as well as pointing out the difficulties facing revolution contributors.
PM Chinh asked all-level administrations, sectors, and localities to continue properly implementing the Party’s guidelines and the State’s policies and laws, further promoting the care for the contributors, and overhaul related policies and legal regulations to help make up for their disadvantages.
He also underlined the need to increase communication to educate young people on the country’s history, at the same time calling on revolutionary contributors nationwide to continue upholding their traditions and dedication, setting bright examples for the younger generations to follow.
