Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan, Politburo member, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, stated that China's illegal placement of the Haiyang Shiyou-981 drilling rig in Vietnam's exclusive economic zone and continental shelf and its provocative actions, destroying the property of Vietnamese authorities and people who are on duty to protect Vietnam's sovereignty over its seas and islands, especially the sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago, has caused indignation and anger among all classes of people.

In order to contribute to sharing difficulties and encouraging people and functional forces who are on duty to protect Vietnam's sea and island sovereignty, recently, a number of localities, organizations and individuals have mobilized and raised funds to join hands and support officers, soldiers and people who are on duty to protect the sea and island sovereignty in general and Hoang Sa in particular, such as Binh Dinh province, Ben Tre province, Ho Chi Minh City...

On behalf of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Chairman Nguyen Thien Nhan acknowledged and highly appreciated the support of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group and the Fatherland Front Committee of Hoa Binh province for joining hands with the people of the whole country to share and encourage fishermen, fisheries control forces, and coast guard who are day and night protecting the sacred sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland.

President Nguyen Thien Nhan emphasized that every minute of peace in the country today has an important contribution from fishermen, fisheries surveillance forces, and coast guard who are standing at the forefront of the storm, steadfastly clinging to the sea to make a living and protect the sovereignty of the sea and islands.

The contributions and support of organizations and individuals are meaningful gifts that help share, encourage and warm the hearts of fishermen, fisheries control forces and coast guard forces offshore.

This charitable activity will be an example for organizations and individuals across the country to express their feelings towards the forces performing their duties on remote islands.

President Nguyen Thien Nhan hopes that, in addition to material support, organizations and units will continue to promote emulation in labor and production, creating momentum and strength to protect the country; and devote additional labor to support fishermen to continue going offshore.
