As an audience member, the President said he had watched the program "Kindness" of Vietnam Television many times and was impressed by the attention of the people, especially young people, paying great attention to the news spreading love and the beautiful actions that people show to each other, no less than the hottest news on social networking platforms today.

The President affirmed that all the people and stories in the program are positive catalysts, stirring up empathy and love in each person; at the same time, he believed that in each person there is compassion and caring for others as an instinct, and the typical faces and actions in the program have contributed to spreading that instinct widely, developing it, and making it much more effective.

Mr. Nguyen Trung Chat, war invalid, founder of Hope Center shared at the meeting.

Pointing out that taking care of those with merit, the poor, the disabled, and the disadvantaged in society, and not leaving anyone behind, is the consistent policy of the Party and State. The President emphasized that, along with the care and concern of the Party and State, the cooperation of kind-hearted people and the support and assistance of "Kindness" figures are very important, because they are the ones closest to the most difficult circumstances, and their help is also very friendly and sincere.

The President said that it is necessary to further expand the models of sharing and helping those around us, and to expand the number of individuals and groups working for the community because we all need more hearts and minds like the 100 shining examples at the meeting, creating positive energy sources and spreading love throughout society.

Emphasizing that our country is striving to basically cover all people in social security activities by 2030, the President said that in the coming time, the State will perfect institutions and laws, especially social work, and can promote and develop the "social work profession" so that social work can be developed more and more widely to take better care of the people.

The President also suggested that we must find ways to continue the journey of kind people because many of the characters in the program are old, some are sick and need the next generation, young people to do kind things. This is also a good morality, a thousand-year-old tradition of our country.
