The Minister expressed his joy and happiness when witnessing his homeland changing every day.
"I am very happy to hear the local report. In recent years, my hometown has become more and more prosperous, with a "change of skin". My hometown has changed, and I also see a lot of new vitality in myself," Minister Dao Ngoc Dung shared.
He recalled: "When I was still working in my hometown, I still remember every time I went to the communes and districts and it rained, riding a bicycle was very difficult, the mud wrapped and stuck tightly to the wheels. Every trip like that, I had to bring a stick to poke the mud out, and when I took the bike to the pond to wash it, the chain came off. I remember those difficult days very fondly, so now, wherever I go, whatever I do, I always yearn for my hometown."
