In implementing Joint Resolution No. 05 (2006) between the Central Committee of the Vietnam Veterans Association and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, in recent years, the Veterans Associations at all levels in the North Central provinces have developed many good models and effective methods in environmental protection work.

New models such as "Protecting a clean and green environment is the responsibility of the community" (Nghe An Veterans Association); "Friendly bathing" of the Quang Binh Veterans Association; "Veterans Association self-managed groups collecting bottles and pesticides in the fields"; "One garbage pit per family" of the Ha Tinh Veterans Association... are being replicated throughout the region. Many cooperatives and environmental groups run by veterans have been established and are operating effectively.

Comrade Nguyen Van Dao - Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Veterans Association, delivered a speech.

At the workshop, delegates analyzed lessons learned, as well as difficulties and obstacles encountered in the process of building, maintaining, and promoting the effectiveness of these models. The workshop provided an opportunity for the Central Committee of the Vietnam Veterans Association to plan the replication of successful models and effective practices in environmental protection work at all levels of the association nationwide.
