Visiting and delivering his Tet wishes to workers of the Can Tho Urban Joint Stock Company, PM Chinh highly appreciated their spirit of solidarity, hard work, efforts and achievements.

He requested the Party Committee and authorities of Can Tho city and the company to seek ways to improve the material and spiritual lives of the workers, especially families with difficult circumstances, and policy beneficiaries.

The Government leader also visited and presented Tet gifts to 50 workers who are constructing a 5.16-km Can Tho river embankment.
