Mr Anh remarked, “From now until the end of this year, the focus will be on ensuring the effective implementation of the ‘City of 4 Safe Programmes’, and the ‘5 No's, 3 Yes's’ campaigns.  Importance will also be attached to promoting the publicity of local emulation movements in order to uphold consensus amongst local Party members, government employees, and residents.  In addition, greater efforts will be made to ensure local security, traffic safety, food safety and hygiene, and social welfare programmes”.

Secretary Anh also expressed his deep appreciation for the great efforts made by the senior citizens during the struggle for national liberation and reunification, and the city’s progress.  He encouraged them to exert even more efforts to promote consensus amongst local residents from all walks of life.
