Throughout this morning, the delegation visited Air Defense Division 367, Air Force Division 370, Tank Brigade 26 and Engineer Brigade 25 under the Military Region 7 respectively.
At these training locations, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Nguyen Ho Hai along with the delegation members friendly talked with and encouraged the new soldiers entering military service in the province of Dong Nai.
Permanent Deputy Secretary Hai believed that the military environment would help the young soldiers cultivate and refine the good qualities of soldiers, thereby contributing to the building and development of their hometowns after finishing their military service.
As planned, Ho Chi Minh City will organize five delegations to visit and present gifts to 4,906 military conscripts this year with VND500,000 (US$19.6) for each gift.
The total gifts to the soldiers and 29 training units cost more than VND2.8 billion (US$110,000) from the city’s “For national seas and islands – For the fatherland frontline” fund.
The activity demonstrates the concern and responsibility of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, government and Military Service Council for the new soldiers to encourage them to perform their duties well and enhance awareness of their role and responsibilities in national security protection.
