Addressing the event, the State leader said with delight that he is moved by the good deeds of these people, who are at different ages and come from different backgrounds.

He said they are teachers dedicated to the education of disadvantaged and orphaned children in remote and isolated areas; those who have voluntarily supported and donated hundreds of billions of VND to charity programmes; and role models of self-sacrifice for the community during the outbreak of COVID-19, among many others.

He affirmed the Party and State always take care of people with meritorious services, the poor, the disabled and the disadvantaged in society, so that no one is left behind.

It is necessary to further replicate the models of supporting those around, he noted.
