(VOVworld) - President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL) Dang Ngoc Tung and senior Ho Chi Minh City officials visited and presented gifts to fishermen in the central province of Quang Ngai on Saturday.

The move was meant to offer assistance to officials and fishermen who are safeguarding national sovereignty at sea. Tung granted a fishing monitoring equipment to a fisheries trade union in An Hai commune, Ly Son district, and 19,000 USD to fishermen. The Ho Chi Minh City chapter of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor also handed nearly 50,000 USD to the provincial fisheries trade union and the same amount to its members whose boats are damaged.
