>>> Deputy PM Truong Hoa Binh visits families of revolution contributors in Ho Chi Minh City
In his speech, delivered before the start of the plenary session of the ongoing 15th NA’s first sitting in Hanoi on July 17, Hue paid tribute to revolutionary veterans, wounded soldiers and the relatives of martyrs and those with meritorious service to the revolution, expressing his infinite gratitude for their sacrifice for the Fatherland and the people.
He affirmed that taking care of wounded and sick war veterans, martyrs’ relatives and revolution contributors is a consistent policy of the Party and State, reflecting the national tradition of “when drinking water, remember its source”.
In the past, Party Committees and administrations at all levels as well as the Vietnam Fatherland Front, agencies, organisations and individuals have conducted practical activities to care for the living conditions of wounded war veterans, martyrs’ relatives and revolution contributors.
He showed great respect for their efforts to overcome difficulties and build a prosperous and happy life, contributing to the cause of national construction and defence.
Noting that many of them are still struggling, while the remains of many fallen combatants have still to be found, the NA leader underscored the need to continue enhancing the efficiency of support policies for revolutionary contributors and conduct practical and comprehensive activities to ensure their living conditions are at least equal to the average level in their area.
Hue stated that showing a strong performance in implementing support policies for revolutionary contributors is a responsibility of the whole political system and people, as well as a factor contributing to the ensuring of social progress and equality, helping reinforce the great national unity bloc and strengthening people’s trust in the Party and State.
He stressed the need for the NA and legislators to continue improving their sense of responsibility and operational efficiency, especially in building and completing the legal system, mechanisms and policies to support revolutionary contributors as well as supervising the implementation of the policies, ensuring they will enjoy the full benefits of the support policies from Party and State.
