The event, jointly held by the Communist Party of Vietnam Online Newspaper and the Vietnam People’s Navy Command, conveyed the tributes of people, businesses and domestic and foreign organizations towards the sacrifice of island soldiers for national protection; and honoured the will, aspiration and great efforts by cadres and soldiers who are protecting the nation’s sea and island sovereignty. It also aimed to encourage people to reinforce ties with cadres and soldiers on distant islands, and mobilize support from organizations and individuals to build up stronger and stronger Spratly Islands.
The 90-minute event provided the audience with emotional songs about the Spratly Islands and about love for the nation, performed by famous singers. During the program, the audience also got a taste of life on the Spratly Islands through reports about soldiers and islanders. Spratly Islands’ material and spiritual life today is more and more improved with care from the mainland, which makes contributions to encourage soldiers and islanders to firmly protect the nation’s holy sea and island sovereignty, deserving the trust from the Party, State and people.
Since 2013, the annually held art performance has received great care from Party and State leaders, as well as the practical and effective assistance from agencies, business and people inside and outside the country.
The Communist Party of Vietnam Online Newspaper, in collaboration with organizations and individuals, has presented the Navy Corp 5 boats worth VND17.5 billion; navy soldiers’ and cadres’ relatives with dozens of charitable houses worth billions of VND; together with hundreds of savings books, thousands of scholarships and valuable gifts.
During the program, the organizing committee granted 20 savings books and 15 charitable houses to disadvantaged soldiers./.
