Since the start of November, communities across Hoa Binh province have joyfully organised activities marking the great national solidarity festival. Twenty years since it was first celebrated, the festival’s vitality and great significance have gained a foothold in people’s spiritual life, thereby helping enhance the strength of the great national solidarity.
Residents in Cu hamlet of Tu Son commune, Kim Boi
district, sing and dance in celebration of the great national solidarity
festival.
Tran Duc Truong, Vice President of the
provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, said the great national
solidarity festival is celebrated in residential areas, hamlets, and villages
from urban to mountainous and remote areas. Regardless of their ethnic groups,
religions and social strata, all people have engaged in the festival.
On November 9, Nguyen Hoa Binh, Politburo
member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Chief Justice of the
Supreme People’s Court, joined residents on Re street in An Nghia commune, Lac
Son district, in the great national solidarity festival.
The official congratulated locals on their
comprehensive results and expressed his hope that they will bring into play the
achievements gained in 2023 and stay united to develop their community into a
rich, beautiful, and civilised area, thereby further tightening Party
committees and administrations’ connectivity with people, pushing ahead with
patriotic emulation campaigns and movements, and upholding fine cultural
traditions.
Truong noted that in all localities, the festival
comprises ceremonial and festive activities. The ceremonial part looks back on
the history of the VFF, reviews the results obtained by a residential area in a
year with a focus on the implementation of the "All people stay united to build
new-style countryside and civilised urban areas” campaign, commends and rewards
outstanding collectives and individuals, discusses targets and tasks, and
launches the emulation movement for the following year. Meanwhile, the festive
part features a variety of cultural and sport activities imbued with ethnic
groups’ identities such as dancing, tug of war, "con” (cloth ball) throwing,
and volleyball.
The festival aims to inspire the spirit of
emulation and promote people’s consensus to effectively carry out socio-economic
development tasks, he said, adding that many meaningful and humanitarian
activities also take place on this occasion such as transfer of new houses to
disadvantaged families, presenting gifts and savings accounts to poor
households, and cleaning up roads and the environment.
The great national solidarity festival has
become a tradition practiced annually amid the founding anniversary of the
Vietnam National United Front. It shows the VFF’s creativity in reforming
working methodology and centring activities on the grassroots level to build up
and enhance the great national solidarity bloc. The festival is truly a big
anniversary of the entire people and a contribution to the solidarity and the
building of prosperous, civilised, and happy communities.
