On the same day, at Long Vinh Border Guard Station (Duyen Hai District, Tra Vinh Province), the HCMC delegation led by Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc, Deputy Secretary of the HCMC Party Committee cum Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of HCMC, visited to express Tet greetings to the border guards and presented gifts to the officers, soldiers, and adopted children of the Tra Vinh Border Guard Station in celebration of the Lunar New Year 2025.
Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc commended and appreciated the efforts of the Tra Vinh border guards for their significant contributions to the province's socio-economic development and the national defense of the country.
According to Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc, building a widespread all-people border protection force is about harnessing the collective strength of the great national unity bloc, with the people as the foundation, relying on them, and uniting them in the construction and defense of the Fatherland.
This also involves combining the strength of the entire political system under the Party's leadership, encompassing the power of politics, ideology, economy, culture, society, national defense, security, and foreign affairs. It emphasizes the integration of national defense with people's security, building a solid “people’s heart disposition” to strengthen and stabilize national border defense. This approach aims to establish a robust, interconnected, and comprehensive national defense and people's security framework, ensuring the firm protection of the nation's borders.
Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc highlighted the significant impact of programs such as "Warm Homes on the Border," "Helping Children Go to School," and "Adopted Children of Border Guard Station" by the Tra Vinh Border Guard Station, which have provided hope and resilience to disadvantaged students in border areas. The force has successfully established a strong all-people border defense system, closely integrated with national defense and public security, further consolidating the people's trust.
On the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025, Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc extended his heartfelt wishes for health and positivity to the officers and soldiers of the Tra Vinh Border Guard Station. He expressed hope that they would continue their efforts to enhance the material and spiritual well-being of local communities, fostering warmth, happiness, and prosperity. He also urged the force to excel in their role as a vital link between the people and the Party and State, particularly through initiatives that support underprivileged students, enabling them to pursue education while fostering patriotism and border security.
Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc concluded by encouraging the students to strive for academic excellence, envisioning a brighter future and becoming valuable contributors to society.
