Food for thought for Spratly islanders and soldiers ahead of lunar New Year
VOV.VN - The Fourth Regional Command of the Vietnam’s People’s Navy on January 3 met more than 100 reporters who would visit and produce stories about soldiers and islanders’ preparations for the coming lunar New Year (Tet) festival on the Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago.
Addressing the meeting, Colonel Nguyen Huu Minh, deputy political commissar of the Fourth Regional Command, expressed hope the reporters would bring a lot of love from the mainland to Truong Sa soldiers and islanders, and truly reflect the life of civil servants and people on the islands of the Truong Sa archipelago.
During the meeting, the Fourth Regional Command received Tet gifts from organizations, agencies, localities and reporters sent to soldiers and people on the Truong Sa archipelago.
Every year, when the lunar New Year festival draws near, the Vietnam People’s Navy dispatches a special trip for reporters bringing Tet gifts from the mainland to Truong Sa soldiers and islanders and making reports about their life. The trip is considered food for thought for the islanders in their effort to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
