Social security policy cares for people’s Tet

During a visit to Lao Cai province, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue asked the provincial Party Committee, authorities, armed forces, and well-off people to take good care of policy families, national contributors, poor households, and people in difficult circumstances, so that no one is left behind during the Lunar New Year.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh paid a Tet visit to ethnic people in Cao Bang province, where he said the Vietnamese Party and State always pay attention to and direct the authorities at all levels help people celebrate Tet joyfully, healthily, and safely.

 “I ask the Party Committees and authorities at all level to carry out practical activities to care for the poor, workers, policy beneficiaries, and unfortunate people, so they can enjoy a happy New Year and no one will be left behind,” Mr. Chinh said.

Paying a pre-Tet visit to policy families and needy people in Hai Duong province, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai said that taking care of the people’s Tet is a meaningful activity, illustrating the tradition of great national unity and mutual solidarity and compassion and implementing Vietnam’s social security policy.:

“To prepare for a joyful, healthy, safe, and sufficient Lunar New Year, I ask the Party Committee, the Fatherland Front, and mass organizations to thoroughly implement the Party Secretariat’s Directive on mobilizing resources to perform social security work, and take care of the material and cultural life of the people.  Every family and every individual should enjoy the spring and welcome Tet happily, especially policy families, people in difficult circumstances, and workers in economic zones, and those who have lost their jobs.”
