Presenting national flags to 60,000 households.

(Baonghean.vn) - For the Lunar New Year of the Rooster 2017, the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee presented flags and calendars to nearly 60,000 households in the three districts of Ky Son, Que Phong, and Tuong Duong.

These are three districts under Decree 30a of Nghe An province. The program also distributed flags to households located in border areas. A total of 59,100 flags and calendars were distributed, ensuring that each family has a flag to display during the Lunar New Year and other important national holidays.

People in Tuong Duong district hang flags to welcome the Lunar New Year of the Rooster 2017.

According to Mr. Luong Thanh Hai, Head of the Provincial Ethnic Affairs Committee: The distribution of national flags and New Year calendars to households has many important meanings. It aims to foster patriotism, national pride, and a sense of responsibility towards the country among the people in remote and disadvantaged areas. Furthermore, it demonstrates the spirit of solidarity and collective effort in building a prosperous and strong nation and homeland.

Currently, nearly 60,000 national flags have been distributed to households by local authorities. Prior to the Lunar New Year, it was found that most ethnic minority communities in the three districts of Kỳ Sơn, Quế Phong, and Tương Dương, as well as many other districts, had already purchased flags to hang in celebration of the 2017 New Year.
