On the afternoon of October 16, in Hanoi, the 10th National Congress of the Vietnam Fatherland Front for the 2024-2029 term officially entered its first working day.
Grieving over the loss of our compatriots
In a quick exchange with reporters of Dai Doan Ket Newspaper on the sidelines of the Congress, Mr. Ly Van Hai, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Lao Cai Province, expressed his honor and pride in attending the Congress for the first time. However, recalling the recent storm No. 3, Mr. Hai could not help but be moved and saddened by the heavy losses that the people of Lao Cai Province in particular and the Northern provinces in general had to endure.
Storm No. 3 and its aftermath have caused severe damage to Lao Cai province. According to preliminary statistics, the entire province of Lao Cai has suffered nearly 7,000 billion VND in damage. Of which, the loss of human life is a pain that will continue to linger.
“There were many families who lost all their family members, some families had only children left to become orphans, or some families had only the father left, it was very pitiful. There were countless scenes of grief and damage to houses. This was the most severe storm and flood that caused the most damage in the past few decades in Lao Cai,” Mr. Ly Van Hai emotionally recalled.
According to Mr. Hai, one of the biggest difficulties for Lao Cai people after the storm is how to quickly stabilize their lives and restore production, while resources are still extremely difficult and limited. People have lost all their means of production, their houses were swept away, their fields and gardens were flattened by rocks and soil... To develop production or rebuild houses requires a huge effort to overcome.
“In addition, the biggest challenge is finding a livelihood, restoring production, and finding resources to repair infrastructure, especially transportation, irrigation, and school projects... It is also very difficult to restore infrastructure to its original state,” the Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Lao Cai province emphasized.
Belief in the power of national unity
However, according to Mr. Ly Van Hai, since the storm occurred, the Vietnam Fatherland Front of Lao Cai province, together with the Party Committee, provincial government and people, felt extremely moved and warmed by the affection of compatriots across the country.
The spirit of solidarity and compatriotism in times of trouble of the people in the province as well as in the whole country has been clearly demonstrated. In the province, organizations and individuals with economic conditions are ready to help their compatriots, demonstrating the spirit of the rich helping the poor.
“We cannot forget the volunteer groups, the support resources sent to the people who suffered damage after the storm, the restaurants that cooked free meals, the zero-dong buses, etc. All of these have created the strength of national unity, creating the belief to help people overcome difficulties soon. We have received and allocated these resources reasonably, transparently, publicly and ensured the right people, the right addresses.
Based on the functions and tasks of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, we, together with the socio-political organizations of the province and at all levels, will continue to strengthen propaganda work, mobilizing people to unite to overcome the consequences. The provincial Fatherland Front will continue to mobilize philanthropists and mobilize the remaining resources. As well as through the mass media, continue to propagate and call on people nationwide and businesses to continue to help Lao Cai people overcome the consequences according to actual conditions," said Mr. Hai.
