"Taking care of both the spiritual and material lives of the elderly is the main focus of the Associations of the Elderly across the country," Ms Nhan noted

Over the past years, the Party and the State have prioritised policies and activities aimed at improving living conditions for the old.
Many organisations and individuals in localities across the country have spared no effort to involve the elderly in community life by organising various cultural and entertainment activities, including sight-seeing tours, fitness activities and art performances.

The participation of the elderly in helping their families promote businesses, reduce poverty and educate grandchildren also brings them happiness.

To date, the Associations of the Elderly have been established in almost all cities and provinces nationwide, drawing the involvement of 7.5 million people in total.v
