Accordingly, the activities include visiting units of armed forces stationed in the district; presenting 165 gifts to policy beneficiary families, poor households, and disadvantaged students with good learning performances; and organizing a "Zero dong" market to support poor people on the occasion of Tet.
The authorities also communicated and disseminated the law to nearly 200 arrivals of fishermen in the port area, presented 200 national flags, distributed 300 leaflets about IUU (Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing) and presented Tet gifts to fishermen there. The total value of the activities is nearly 200 million VND.
These activities bring the warm affection of the mainland to soldiers and people on Bach Long Vi Island on the threshold of the new year, and help them protect the country’s sovereignty over sea and islands.
Bach Long Vi Island, located in the middle of the Gulf of Tonkin, belongs to Vietnam's sovereignty. The island has a natural area of 2.33km2, of which 1.78km2 is not flooded./.
