Under the decision, a Tet gift worth 600,000 VND will be presented to those participating in revolutionary activities before January 1, 1945, and up to the August Revolution in 1945, those holding the titles of Heroic Vietnamese Mother, Hero of the People’s Armed Forces and Hero of Labour in the resistance wars.

Wounded soldiers who lost at least 81% of their working capability, war veterans who were contaminated with chemical toxics and lost 81% or more of work capability, and relatives of fallen soldiers will also receive gifts of the same value.

Meanwhile, gifts worth VND300,000 each will be delivered to wounded soldiers who have lost 80% of their working capacity or less, war veterans who were contaminated with chemical toxics and lost 80% of their capacity or less, and former revolutionaries who were either arrested or imprisoned during the resistance wars for national salvation.

Presenting Tet gifts to revolution contributors during the Lunar New Year has become an annual tradition in Vietnam, demonstrating the State and people’s gratitude to those who dedicated themselves to the struggle for national independence and reunification.
