State President Nguyen Minh Triet affirmed the role of national unity at the Entire Nation Unity Festival held in Lo Xa hamlet in the northern province of Hung Yen on the morning of November 10.

The event was to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Vietnam National United Front, which is now the Vietnam Fatherland Front.

Lo Xa, which hosted the event, is a prominent cultural hamlet in Hung Yen. It has achieved great successes in poverty reduction, study encouragement and security maintenance. Its Unity Club serves as a core in launching the movement of mobilizing people to unite and build a cultural life. In the hamlet no one goes hungry and its rate of poor households has been slashed to only three percent.

The hamlet’s achievements prove the important role of people’s unity and people’s associations in developing all aspect of their lives, President Triet emphasized.

He affirmed that unity is a precious tradition for the Vietnamese nation. Under the Party’s leadership, the Vietnam Fatherland Front did well to rally social classes for national liberation and unification. In the new era of national construction and safeguarding, the country has reaped new successes to upgrade its position on the international arena thanks to the strength of its great national unity.

“Vietnam is a poor country but it successfully defeated powerful imperialists. This deed fills not only the Vietnamese people but also people around the globe with pride. It’s possible to break a single chopstick, not many chopsticks bundled together,” Mr Triet said. “Uncle Ho [late President Ho Chi Minh] reminded us of this lesson in his testament. We have to further strengthen the Front and other associations with the aim of advancing the country.”

The state president stressed that numerous difficulties are still lying ahead and only with the strength of national unity shall the Vietnamese nation overcome them and successfully build a new countryside.
