700 national flags donated to local fishermen

 BTO – The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union branch of the Department of  Industry and Trade on November 4 handed over 700 national flags to the provincial Border Guard as gifts for fishermen in Binh Thuan province. 

Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, Senior Lieutenant Colonel Tran Viet Hung- deputy political commissar of the provincial Border Guard expressed thankfulness for this meaning presents as well as the Department of Industry and Trade’s support in propagandizing national sovereignty over sea and islands. Those gifts will contribute to giving local fishermen more spiritual strength in clinging to the sea to develop production and protect national sovereignty over sea and islands. He stressed that the flags would be handed to fishermen in the province and called the unit to keep on assisting in other programs.

Over the past years, under the campaign “Presenting national flags and Uncle Ho’s portraits to fishermen” launched by the Vietnam Border Guard High Command, the provincial Border Guard has given thousands of national flags and portraits of late President Ho Chi Minh to fishermen households in Binh Thuan, contributing to strengthening the solidarity between the army and residents living in sea boundary areas, promoting propaganda on national sovereignty over sea and islands, promoting patriotism and responsibility for protecting the Fatherland’s national sovereignty.
