General Secretary: Preferential allowances for meritorious people will be adjusted to the highest level
General Secretary To Lam said that by 2030, the target is that 100% of meritorious people and their families will have a better than average standard of living. The preferential subsidy level will also continue to be adjusted to the highest level in the social policy system.
Party and State leaders met with representatives of veterans, former youth volunteers, and militiamen who participated in the resistance war against the US to save the country this morning.
Speaking at the meeting, General Secretary To Lam shared that the veterans - Uncle Ho's soldiers - have overcome countless hardships and dangers, writing golden pages of history on every battlefield.
The youth volunteers - the "fire flowers" of a fiery youth, rolled in the rain of bombs and bullets, opened the way, carried ammunition, gave first aid, and created immortal miracles.
The militia and self-defense forces - the soldiers in the countryside, day and night staying at home, protecting their homeland, both producing and fighting - are a solid post in the rear of the Fatherland.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the General Secretary expressed his deep gratitude and sincere respect for the great, persistent and silent sacrifices and contributions of veterans, former youth volunteers and militiamen.
"The Vietnamese generations today and tomorrow will forever remember the great sacrifices of those who sacrificed their blood and lives for the country, for the survival and development of the nation.
We will never forget the images of mothers, grandmothers who "saw their children off three times, crying silently twice", or "mothers still digging trenches under artillery fire" and gentle wives who became "three-talented women" with hoes and plows in one hand; young girls with "guns on their shoulders and square stars on their helmets" when their husbands went to the front... We cannot count all the admirable examples in the period of "going out to meet heroes" during the anti-American war to save the country", the General Secretary shared.
The General Secretary expressed his gratitude for the great contributions of the people, armed forces, and historical witnesses to the Party's revolutionary cause in the cause of national reunification.
Regardless of the field, veterans and former youth volunteers always demonstrate the spirit of "determination to fight, determination to win" and "speed and boldness" of the Ho Chi Minh campaign of the past, always dedicated and exemplary in work and life...
The Vietnamese people have a tradition of drinking water, remembering its source, being grateful and showing gratitude to previous generations. In every revolutionary period, no matter how difficult, our Party and State always attach importance to and carry out as best as possible social policies for those who have rendered service to the country, those who have contributed and sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
The General Secretary said that in Resolution No. 42 dated November 24, 2023, the Party Central Committee set a goal: by 2030, 100% of meritorious people and their families will have a fairly good standard of living or higher, and will receive comprehensive care in terms of material and spiritual aspects.
The preferential subsidy level will also continue to be adjusted to the highest level in the social policy system. Hundreds of thousands of charity houses have been, are being and will continue to be built across the country.
However, according to the General Secretary, the most sincere gratitude lies not only in policy, but also in the awareness and actions of today's generation. Those who are fortunate enough to live in peace and development have the responsibility to continue, preserve and promote the revolutionary tradition, passing on the torch to future generations.
Providing information on the country's situation, the General Secretary said that the whole country is facing three very important core tasks: firmly protecting the stable and peaceful Fatherland of Vietnam; developing the country to achieve the set goals by 2030, 2045 - 100 years of Vietnam's independence, becoming a developed and high-income country; and improving all aspects of people's lives.
The General Secretary emphasized that all Vietnamese people must have the responsibility to protect the Fatherland of peace, stability and solidarity. Everyone must work and produce, be creative, and create more wealth and material goods for the country. The Party and State must ensure a prosperous, happy, equal and free life for all people. No one must be left poor or hungry. Everyone must have access to health care, education, and the fruits of the revolution of an independent and free country.
The General Secretary believes that veterans, former youth volunteers, and militiamen can all contribute to the Fatherland in their own way, working more and more actively, educating and training the younger generation...
