“June is the National Action Month for Children. 2019 is the year when localities across the country join their efforts to take care of, educate, and protect the children. Focus will be on reducing the risk of child drowning and traffic accidents, and preventing such incidents”, Mrs Phong noted.

She took the opportunity to encourage local children study well, as well as become good grandchildren of Uncle Ho, and useful citizens in the society.

To mark the occasion, Mrs Phong planted a souvenir tree in the campus of the Children's Cultural Palace.
