The close President

At the end of April 2017, the President and his delegation visited Nghia Dong commune, Tan Ky district. The image of the head of state with a simple demeanor, a warm smile, traveling long distances to directly visit and inquire about the lives of the people in the mountainous commune moved many people. In the places the President visited, local people gathered in large numbers, shaking hands and welcoming him. In response to the affection of the people of Nghia Dong commune, President Tran Dai Quang also spent a lot of time talking to officials and people.

Not only did he leave a deep impression with his thoughtful communication attitude, attentive listening, acknowledging the living situation and giving many practical and meaningful instructions, the President also brought unexpected joy to the people of this mountainous commune when he directed the authorities to build a semi-boarding kitchen for the commune kindergarten with a scale of 500 children.
Returning to Nghia Dong these days, it is not difficult to recognize the heaviness in people's hearts at the news of President Tran Dai Quang's passing. Everywhere, people repeat images, stories, and advice from the President to each other...

At the commune's kindergarten, the semi-boarding cafeteria was completed and put into use in April this year - now existing as a symbol, a reminder of the affection of a kind President for the people of this mountainous commune.

Teacher Nguyen Thi Vi - Principal of Nghia Dong Kindergarten said: The cafeteria is spacious, airy, designed according to a one-way kitchen process, which is very convenient for ensuring food hygiene and safety for children. The cafeteria is also far from the classroom area, so the cooking process does not affect the children during their study time. Expressing condolences at the passing of President Tran Dai Quang, the principal emotionally shared: During the 2 days of national mourning, the school set up an altar for staff and teachers to burn incense in memory and gratitude for his dedication and contributions to the country, especially the affection that the President had for teachers and students of the remote school in Western Nghe An.
Caring, close, always deeply concerned about people's lives, especially the disadvantaged in society, is the image that remains in the mind of every citizen who has the opportunity to meet President Tran Dai Quang.
