At the same time, the Chairman of the Nghe An Provincial People’s Committee emphasised that, in response to the appeal of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary, in recent days, agencies, businesses, and philanthropists, with the spirit of “mutual affection and mutual love,” had enthusiastically participated in contributing and supporting the poor in Nghe An to celebrate Tet. Therefore, I am glad to announce that so far, the Nghe An “Tet for the Poor - Lunar New Year 2024” programme has raised more than VND140 billion. In the difficult conditions of 2023, the contributions of organisations, individuals, businesses, and entrepreneurs are even more meaningful, demonstrating noble gestures and a sense of love that is đáng trân trọng for the poor every time Tet comes and spring arrives”.

Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Trung called on Party committees, authorities at all levels, organisations, businesses, and individuals inside and outside the province, and the audience watching television to continue to care for and celebrate Tet for the poor to ensure the practical significance of the programme in the spirit of “working together for the poor, leaving no one behind, so that all people can enjoy the spring and celebrate Tet.” Nghe An province will direct agencies, units, and localities to allocate and deliver to the poor the gifts received from this programme, ensuring fairness and timeliness. Besides, it is hoped that the poor and those in difficult circumstances will further promote their self-reliance, self-improvement, focus on labour, and have the aspiration to rise out of poverty sustainably to join hands in caring for the poor in similar circumstances according to the principle of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, the more torn leaves cover the less torn leaves.”

On this occasion, on behalf of the Party Committee, the authorities, and the people of the province, the Chairman of the Nghe An Provincial People’s Committee, Nguyen Duc Trung, respectfully thanked Mr Vuong Dinh Hue - Politburo member, Chairman of the National Assembly, for visiting, presenting Tet gifts to the poor in Nghi Loc and Yen Thanh districts, and taking the time to attend the Nghe An province’s “Tet for the Poor” programme. In the coming time, Nghe An province hopes to continue to receive more attention from him.
