Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Hoang Nguyen Dinh, beat the ceremonial drum to commence the enlistment handover and extended his best wishes to the recruits as they departed to fulfill their duty to the Fatherland.
According to him, the selection and conscription of citizens to build the armed forces and safeguard the Fatherland constitute a regular and important task of the Party, authorities, and people of the city. This work contributes to the effective implementation of the Law on Military Service and creates favorable conditions for the younger generation to uphold and promote the nation’s patriotic tradition.
Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Hoang Nguyen Dinh requested that relevant agencies and units maintain a clear understanding of the locations where the recruits are stationed and develop plans to organize visits and provide timely encouragement. He also emphasized the need to effectively implement policies in support of military families, with due attention to caring for and assisting the families of enlistees facing difficult circumstances.
Such coordinated measures, he noted, are essential to creating favorable conditions for the young soldiers to carry out their duties with confidence and peace of mind throughout their period of active service.
Representing the recruits, young Party member Tran Dinh Tri said that being born, studying, and growing up in a period of peace, stability, and development of the country is a tremendous honor for today’s younger generation. Fulfilling military service, he affirmed, is not only a responsibility and sacred duty but also a legitimate right of every young citizen.
On behalf of the recruits, Tran Dinh Tri pledged to continuously study, train, and strive to accomplish all assigned tasks.
