President calls for better coordination with fatherland front
President Truong Tan Sang stressed the need to work more closely with the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) to strengthen the great national unity in 2013, a core year in the 11th National Party Congress’ five-year plan.
At a conference in Hanoi on January 22 to review coordination with the Presidium of the VFF Central Committee in 2012, President Sang said joint working programmes have promoted patriotic emulation campaigns across the country, mobilised people to socio-economic development, and built a strong and transparent Party and a law-governed State of the people, by the people and for the people.
He said the two sides need to hold regular meetings to contribute opinions to the draft 1992 Constitution amendments, seek measures to tackle issues of public concern, and build a social feedback supervision mechanism.
The President also called on organisations and individuals to help natural disaster victims overcome difficulties.
