(VOVworld) – Dear fellow countrymen, comrades and soldiers nationwide!
Vietnam in 2013 overcame many challenges thanks to the concerted efforts of the Party, army and people. Vietnam’s cause of national defense and construction requires a high determination, consensus, coordinated actions, as well as comprehensive and radical reforms.
Vietnam’s achievements in 2013 will encourage the country to move forward in the New Year. We are determined to live up to our glorious history and for future generations. I urge fellow countrymen, comrades and soldiers across the nation to unite and make the most of our strength to boost reforms and promote democracy and progressive thinking for the development of the nation.
The new year has come with the arrival of spring. In this sacred moment, I cordially extend my best New Year wishes to Vietnamese people at home and abroad and to the soldiers and officials on duty in border and remote areas. May the New Year bring peace and prosperity to Vietnam and happiness to its people and may spring bring us new spirits and new victories.
