Million Green Milestones Campaign - The fulcrum of trust
The campaign message is: Expressing patriotism through practical actions, mobilizing people nationwide to, in 2025, support island soldiers to soon complete the goal of successfully planting 1 million trees to green the Truong Sa special zone, contributing to increasing natural defense capabilities, improving the living environment for officers and soldiers, firmly affirming the sovereignty of the sea and islands of the Fatherland.
The representative of the Navy shared, “From the very first days of defending the island, generations of fathers and brothers brought each tree from the mainland to plant on the remote island, considering it a message of presence. Continuing that tradition, each tree today is a sacred green milestone on the homeland's sea and islands. One million trees are one million milestones of trust that the people and soldiers together built at the forefront of the waves and winds. During the historic August days, I hope that each citizen will show their patriotism through practical actions such as contributing trees and cheering for the navy soldiers. I believe that with unity, we will turn the aspiration for a green Truong Sa into reality.”

The first 5 years of the Greening Truong Sa journey
The "Greening Truong Sa" program, implemented by the Navy Command since 2021, is a major policy, an urgent and long-term task, receiving widespread support from the government and people.
From Plan No. 4241/KH-BTL of the Naval Region 4 Command in 2022, the open letter of Greening Truong Sa has been sent to 44 localities and businesses nationwide to communicate, advocate and mobilize resources.
Responding strongly, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, through the City Fatherland Front Committee, launched the program "For a green Truong Sa", mobilizing units such as the City Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment and many businesses and individuals to contribute 100,000 trees and materials, Dak Nong province contributed 200 million VND, Binh Dinh province donated tens of thousands of coconut seedlings to form "Binh Dinh coconut road" on Song Tu Tay island...
According to information from the Navy, since its launch, within just 4 years from 2021 to 2024, the military and people of Truong Sa special zone, together with the support of the people of the whole country, have planted nearly 90,000 trees on the islands such as coconut, casuarina, banyan, tra, mu u, mango, and banyan; built a nursery with 30,000 seedlings, transported nearly 3,000 tons of soil and more than 400 tons of fertilizer to the island. This is an extraordinary effort, as the tree planting speed of the special zone is on par with the greening goal of many areas on the mainland. This result demonstrates the spirit of solidarity and responsibility of the whole country towards Truong Sa.
In the 2025 - 2027 period, the program aims to plant 2,000,000 more trees to provide shade, wind and wave protection, apply technology in tree care and protection, expand tree nurseries on the island, raise awareness of the marine environment, and protect green sovereignty.

Raising the goal of "Greening Truong Sa with 1 million trees", in 2025, MB reported and received approval from the Ministry of National Defense to mobilize finance to plant about 1 million trees in Truong Sa. In which, MB will allocate funds and mobilize organizations, individuals, and MB customers to implement the program. In addition, MB commits to contribute at least 50 billion VND in counterpart funds through green financial activities and actions to spread patriotism on social networking platforms.
In June 2026, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, MB connected 100 journalists from all over the country to Truong Sa, bringing the people's sentiments to the soldiers and people on the remote island. The direct experiences and emotions of the writers will spread through articles, reports, television... to convey the love for the sea and islands to the public at home and abroad. From there, the community will turn to Truong Sa, joining hands to support the soldiers and people here to protect national sovereignty.
To date, MB has mobilized more than 60,000 organizations and individuals to participate, including leaders and technology experts from more than 60 domestic and foreign corporations, expected to reach the 80 billion mark and make a donation to the Navy before September 2, 2025.
The campaign “Million green milestones - The fulcrum of trust” is expected to receive even stronger response from domestic and foreign organizations and individuals, joining hands for the common goal of 1 million green trees - 1 million trusts sent to the army and people of Truong Sa special zone.
In the digital age, technology is the bridge for practical community actions, opening up opportunities for every Vietnamese person to be a "naval soldier" to help cultivate and green the outpost islands, bringing strong vitality to Truong Sa as a shield to protect the sovereignty of the homeland's sea and islands.
