PM Phuc made the statement at an annual meeting to review the partnership between the Government and the VFF over the past year, in Hanoi, on April 17, under the chair of PM Phuc and VFF President Tran Thanh Man.
The programmes jointly held by the two sides have helped to consolidate the people’s trust in the Government and create a consensus in society, thus facilitating national socio-economic development, he said.
The Government leader stressed that both the Government and VFF pay special attention to the poor, disadvantaged groups, families of policy beneficiaries, and people in natural disaster-hit areas.
The two sides have also worked closely in deploying patriotic emulation movements, and fundraising events for the poor, as well as movements on raising public responsibilities in safeguarding national territory, sovereignty and border security, he added.
He called for strengthening the cooperation in popularising the Party’s guidelines and policies and the State’s laws to people, consolidating national unity, and designing campaigns targeting pressing issues such as environment protection, and food and traffic safety.
VFF President Tran Thanh Man highly appreciated the Government’s strong support for VFF’s operations, as well as the enthusiastic participation of cabinet members in VFF-launched social campaigns.
He also hoped for further and more practical cooperation between the two sides in the future.
