Addressing the event, Member of the Party Central Committee (PCC) and Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper Le Quoc Minh said that the tradition of “good leaves protect torn leaves” has become a noble human value throughout the country’s history.
He emphasised that Nhan Dan Newspaper, with the mission of being the official voice of the Party, State and people, has always actively participated in many social activities, including the establishment of the Vietnamese Seed Fund in a bid to make contributions to social security and community development.
With the contribution of many organisations and benefactors, the Vietnamese Seed Fund has presented thousands of scholarships and dozens of houses to many disadvantaged people.
The 90-minute programme featured an elaborately choreographed art space, with songs and dance on the Party, the spring, the love for the country and the spirit of solidarity and compassion.
