DNHN - "I want the business community to promote the spirit to create a Vietnam mark in protecting national security, contributing to the protection of the territory, the protection of the sea, and the protection of the islands through sharing activities."
Dr. To Hoai Nam, permanent vice president and general secretary of the Vietnam Small and Medium Enterprises Association, shared this information with Business & Integration Magazine at the end of April, following his visit to the Truong Sa archipelago and rig house DK1.

Dr. To Hoai Nam wrote a poem titled "Emotions of the East Sea" during this trip. He was inspired by his love for Truong Sa’s land, the sea, and island soldiers. Before returning to the mainland, the author completed the final three verses of the poem in a special circumstance.
Hoai Nam stated, "After performing the funeral ceremony to honor the soldiers who perished on the great Truong Sa island, also known as the capital of the Truong Sa archipelago, observe the memorial ceremony and listen to the proverb once more. When discussing the soldiers and martyrs who died on Truong Sa, I realized that peace is the purpose of life. This also motivates me to complete the remaining three verses."
"To protect and preserve the land at the front of the storm, our soldiers, from previous generations to the present day, are incredibly courageous, always sure of their weapons, and always prepared to fight. The bravest soldiers recognize, however, that peace is the reason for life and the most sacred thing. Only with peace will the country develop, and the people will be prosperous and content," Mr. Nam added.

Beginning with the majesty of Truong Sa, Hoang Sa, and the sea, the poem "Emotions of the East Sea" describes a vast and immense landscape. Truong Sa and Hoang Sa, two Vietnamese archipelagos, are associated with the love and devotion of the people. Deep love and loyalty to Truong Sa and Hoang Sa are not only personal feelings but also a symbol of the Vietnamese people's love for their country and devotion to their homeland. Male. Truong Sa and Hoang Sa are not only the sea and islands of Vietnam, but also an integral part of the nation's history and culture, according to the Vietnamese.
Vietnamese fishermen have a deep love for the sea and are willing to devote their lives to protecting the Spratlys and Paracels since ancient times. Despite difficulties and obstacles, succeeding generations have continuously attached themselves to and developed an appreciation for the significance of these two archipelagos.
The Spratlys and the Paracels are not only a symbol of the nation's cohesion and strength, but also a vital sea and island region for protecting marine resources, maintaining security, and ensuring maritime safety. Specifically, this sea is crucial for maintaining regional stability and safeguarding Vietnam's legitimate rights and interests in the East Sea.
In the poem, the majesty of the seascape is punctuated by images of green leaves, which represent the Fatherland. This leaf is "as deep as the Fatherland," signifying patriotism and love for the nation. It is simultaneously a symbol of peace and the enduring strength of the Vietnamese Fatherland.
Dr. To Hoai Nam shared that "blue is the color that symbolizes vitality, sustainability, and humanity." Green vegetable gardens and hundreds of plants and flowers are cultivated daily by officials and soldiers on the island to cultivate the island's green color. The vegetable garden is also a practical gift that we brought to the DK1 rig house from the mainland. We wish to add more green to the sea and islands of our native land..."

Based on love and devotion to the nation, the author To Hoai Nam also expressed a willingness to devote himself to and live with the nation forever. The commitment of the author is to become sand, i.e., to be willing to contribute and remain loyal to the nation regardless of difficulties and dangers. It is a sincere and unconditional commitment that demonstrates the love of the Vietnamese people for Truong Sa and Hoang Sa.
Both Truong Sa and Hoang Sa represent hope and peace. The final line of the poem, "Peace for Life," expresses the author's realization during the nation's historical journey: peace is the reason for life and the holiest thing.

During this journey, Dr. To Hoai Nam was most impressed by the tenacity of our troops, from the coast guard to the Navy and from small islands to the Truong Sa islands. big. All officers and soldiers demonstrate resiliency, an appreciation for art, and a willingness to love and share, despite their lack of material possessions... This is what led him to express his unwavering faith in him. with officers and soldiers leading the charge.
"I sense the affection of cadres and soldiers for the visiting mainland delegations; they are very thirsty for the love of their country." I also felt the spirit of Uncle Ho's army when soldiers on the island gave me rice and clothes, and the navy soldiers on the ship gave up their rooms for the delegation members out to the island because they were concerned that everyone would be affected by the waves.

Not only do the majority-Vietnamese members of the Business Association's delegation share similar perspectives on Truong Sa, but so do all citizens of the country, from overseas Vietnamese businessmen to the president. This is the love of the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa lands, the love of the sea and island soldiers, and the general sharing of the difficulties of the army. Therefore, the group's brothers overcame numerous obstacles. Numerous individuals suffer from seasickness but have the faith and perseverance to overcome it.
Dr. To Hoai Nam, a representative of the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, stated: "After visiting the island, we intend to disseminate information about Truong Sa and Hoang Sa so that the community of more than 800,000 small and medium enterprises can better comprehend the ocean. cherished island. I would also like to organize a business delegation of approximately 200 local businesspeople to visit the island so that each businessperson and company can express their affection and sense of responsibility for Truong Sa, as well as find ways to improve the quality of life. Enhance the material and spiritual well-being of cadres and soldiers in the Truong Sa archipelago and DK1 rig.

In addition, Dr. To Hoai Nam sent a message to the member business community: "Over the past three decades, the business community has contributed to Vietnam's economic development. I want the business community to promote the spirit of Vietnam's contribution to national security, territorial defense, and the protection of seas and islands through cooperative activities. Those who develop and achieve great success should share more, in particular. In addition to the traditional movements of charity, humanism, and sharing with disadvantaged families, as well as policies based on the movements of the Party and State, it is necessary to pay more attention to spiritual and cultural life.
In the spirit of the beloved Truong Sa, the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises donated nearly one billion dong worth of artifacts and contributions to the Truong Sa army and people and the DK1 rig house during this trip to the sea and islands. In addition to providing in-kind donations, the Association also sends direct contributions to the Naval Command for efficient use of funds.
