In addition, the Fatherland Defence Order was presented to 21 excellent individuals and the Bravery Order was posthumously awarded to an individual.
On the occasion, many groups and individuals in Dong Nai Province also received the Government Emulation Flags and the Prime Minister’s Certificates of Merit.
Speaking at the ceremony, Dong Nai Chairman Cao Tien Dung stated that the decoration recipients are outstanding examples of the province’s emulation movement.
He urged them to continue building on the tradition and internal strength to record further achievements in the future and contribute to the province’s development.
