Speaking at the event, NA Chairman Hue said that in 1948, in Viet Bac region, which now comprises Cao Bang, Bac Kan, Lang Son, Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang and Thai Nguyen provinces, President Ho Chi Minh issued a patriotism emulation appeal.

Over the past 75 years, the movement has developed continuously, helping to make great achievements in the process of national building and safeguarding.

He appreciated the important results gained by Tuyen Quang’s Party Organisation, administration and people in the patriotism emulation movement, and afforestation and forest protection, and forestry economic development.

Regarding tasks for this year, the NA Chairman asked authorities and sectors at all levels to effectively implement the emulation movement associated with the study and following of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and lifestyle; realise the resolutions of the Party and the legislature on socio-economic development and budget in 2023 to make the most of the province’s potential and advantages.
