Nguyen Manh Cuong, head of the Board for Information, Education, and Mass Mobilization under the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, praised Muslim dignitaries and followers for their contributions to patriotic emulation movements and their active role in fulfilling the city’s socio-economic development, defence, and security tasks and targets for 2024.

Ho Chi Minh City has always paid close attention to providing both material and spiritual support for the Muslim community, ensuring their development alongside the city’s overall growth, he said.

Mohamed Amine, Secretary of the Board of Representatives of the Muslim Community in HCM City, said that the community would continue its active participation in the movements and campaigns initiated by local authorities and the Vietnam Fatherland Front and contribute to building a strong national unity bloc and jointly develop an increasingly prosperous Ho Chi Minh City.
