(VOVworld) – The Vietnam Fatherland Front President Nguyen Thien Nhan has described the Front’s mission as upholding the people’s initiatives to build a strong national unity for national development and defense.

In the lead up to the Lunar New Year, Mr. Nhan told VOV that 2016 was a successful year for the organization, which is determined to closely follow the Party’s Resolutions and the people’s oversight to undertake its mission. He said: “The biggest and most challenging activity was that the Front encouraged the voters to cast their ballots at the 14^th National Assembly election to choose the most competent deputies. We also monitored whether the election process was in accordance with law or not. The second activity was a new movement called “All people unite to build new style rural areas and civilized urban areas”. It was launched on the basis of 15-year-old movements like “All people unite to build a healthy lifestyle in residential areas” and “Day for the Poor”.
