He affirmed that public servants, workers and labourers, and trade unions across the nation have made significant contributions to those achievements.
He asked the VGCL to effectively implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and Politburo's Resolution 02-NQ/TW on reforming the organisation and operation of trade union organisations while paying attention to discovering and multiplying exemplary labourers.
