(Chinhphu.vn) - The movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, when successfully implemented in 2025, will be a memorable milestone, when for the first time in history, the whole country will no longer have temporary or dilapidated houses, and perhaps not many developing countries in the world can do this.

On April 13, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the Central Emulation and Reward Council, launched a national emulation movement to join hands to "Eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" nationwide in 2025.
Many people were deeply moved when listening to the sincere and passionate sharing of the Head of Government at this event. They were even more moved when the Prime Minister and other Party and State leaders came to the villages to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony and digging the foundations for houses for the people.
As the Prime Minister shared, all citizens and businesses, whoever has something to contribute, whoever has meritorious services to contribute, whoever has property to contribute, whoever has a lot to contribute a lot, whoever has little to contribute a little, create a movement, a trend for the poor, for the movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, without frills or formalities, to help the poor realize their long-standing dream of "settling down and having a career".
This is an event of profound human significance in the atmosphere of the whole country competing enthusiastically towards the 49th anniversary of the Liberation of the South, the reunification of the country and the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory "famous in five continents, shaking the earth". In fact, in recent years, Vietnam has completed the United Nations Millennium Development Goals early, becoming a model of hunger eradication and poverty reduction, and is considered by the international community as a bright spot in poverty reduction in the world!
Most households across the country have solid, safe houses, however, there are still hundreds of thousands of households living in temporary, dilapidated houses. This makes each of us feel sad and troubled.
About a month ago, while chairing a conference to remove difficulties and promote the development of social housing (March 16, 2024), the Prime Minister announced in advance that a movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses would soon be launched nationwide, because housing is one of the three pillars of social security, "settling down to find a job". At that time, this information was warmly welcomed by businesses and associations in the hall.
In fact, in the management of the Government and the Prime Minister, every month is a month for the poor. At regular meetings, the Government takes time to summarize the implementation of social security policies, changes in household income, funding to support poor and near-poor households, rice support for Tet and the harvest season, what additional policies and programs need to be issued for the poor, etc.
The Prime Minister always made it clear that economic growth must be associated with social progress and equity, environmental protection, improving people's lives in all aspects and allowing everyone to enjoy the fruits of growth. As General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong stated, we must not sacrifice equity, social progress, social security, or the environment to pursue growth alone.
The Government always strives to implement drastic measures to promote rapid and sustainable poverty reduction, so that all people have the opportunity to move forward together. Despite budget difficulties, the Government still allocates a significant amount of resources to implement social security policies.

At the launching ceremony of the emulation movement "The whole country joins hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses", the Prime Minister set a goal of mobilizing the construction and repair of 170,000 houses for poor and near-poor households nationwide from now until the end of 2025.
The implementation time is not long, in the context of limited resources. Therefore, "let's stay by the side, put ourselves in the situation of the poor, of the less fortunate to help with all our heart, with understanding, with respect and sympathy", the Prime Minister once said. The Prime Minister emphasized: the relevant subjects must put themselves in the position of those who do not have a place to live to act.
Yes, poverty reduction is not a race of achievements measured by numbers, but must truly create a more material and spiritual life for the people, helping people escape poverty in a sustainable way, first of all, having a place to "settle down" and "make a living". Ministries, branches, and local authorities must carry out their work proactively, positively, effectively, flexibly, without embellishment or formality.
For the movement to achieve the expected results, it requires the efforts of the whole community, the sharing of hearts, and more practical connecting arms... Eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses must be done with the spirit of "Millions of loving hearts - Thousands of happy homes".
This will be a strong general groundbreaking, not only demonstrating the determination and consensus of the entire political system and the entire population, but also requiring efforts from the poor households themselves, with the Dien Bien Phu spirit, uniting to defeat poverty. The State supports, the community helps, and households participate in contributing to building houses.
Only then will the emulation movement of the whole country joining hands to "eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" spread widely throughout society and the community and be successful, achieving real results as the Prime Minister expressed his confidence at the launching ceremony.
Towards the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (2025), the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party (2030) and further the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country (2045), from the situation of "the whole nation being poor and hungry in straw" (poem by Che Lan Vien) when we had not yet achieved independence, unity and freedom, we are realizing the aspiration of a strong and prosperous country, with people increasingly well-off and happy both materially and spiritually, like the "ultimate desire" of beloved Uncle Ho during his lifetime: Everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone can study, everyone has a decent place to live...
