PM Chinh expressed deep gratitude towards revolutionary veterans, Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, Heroes of the People's Armed Forces, wounded and sick veterans, relatives of martyrs and revolution contributors.

He said that although the war ended a long time ago, the pains it caused linger. Millions of people laid down their lives, leaving behind their youth, dreams and desires, and millions more left parts of their bodies in the battlefields, he said.

“Everywhere across the Vietnamese nation, their great sacrifice for the cause of national independence and reunification is always remembered,” PM Chinh stressed.

Currently, more than 9.2 million people who rendered services to the nation have benefited from the Government’s support policies, while thousands of Heroic Vietnamese Mothers are living with the care of the society. Their living conditions are ensured to be at least equal to those in their residential areas, he added.
