Let's enjoy 'Tet reunion'

Speaking at the program, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son praised the Hai Phong City government and Trade Union for always paying attention to the lives of civil servants, public employees, and workers over the years. In 2024, Hai Phong City was one of the localities heavily affected by storm No. 3 (Yagi), but the government, people, and workers still made efforts to overcome difficulties and achieved impressive results.

The Deputy Prime Minister commended Hai Phong for achieving a GRDP growth rate of 11.01% in 2024, the 10th consecutive year of maintaining a double-digit growth rate. Hai Phong pays great attention to caring for and supporting people with meritorious services, the poor, workers, and laborers in difficult circumstances, with the joint efforts and contributions of both employers and philanthropists.

By the end of 2024, Hai Phong will have no more poor households according to the national poverty standards for the period 2021-2025; over 20,000 meritorious people are receiving monthly preferential allowances.

Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son expressed his hope that Hai Phong will continue to be a leading locality in socio-economic development; a center and growth pole in the Red River Delta.

At the program, the Deputy Prime Minister, leaders of Hai Phong City and the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor presented 100 Tet gifts to workers in difficult circumstances, policy families, and poor households in the area.

Immediately after the program, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son visited and presented gifts to Vietnamese Heroic Mother Tran Thi Be, 105 years old, with 4 children who are martyrs; 1/4 disabled soldier Le The Vi in Hai An district, Hai Phong city.
