In recent days, storm No. 3 (super typhoon Yagi) with very strong intensity has swept into the northern provinces of our country, causing heavy damage to people and property. In the critical situation, the authorities have "rapidly" deployed plans to respond to the complex developments of natural disasters, mobilizing tens of thousands of officers, soldiers, militia, thousands of vehicles to directly rescue, ensure traffic safety, evacuate, relocate, search, provide relief, protect people's lives and property. People across the country with all their hearts have turned to the flooded areas, sharing spiritual and material contributions with noble initiatives and actions. In the most difficult moments, the spirit of the Vietnamese people has touched friends around the world.

Through authentic and touching stories, the program sends the message: Humanity - is our support in storms and floods, Vietnamese people in every position can be a support for their compatriots and the country in difficult times. This is a special program, with the purpose of becoming a bridge to share images, connecting people in common emotions, and looking towards the people affected by natural disasters. Not only telling stories through images, the program also incorporates meaningful songs performed by leading artists and singers, deepening the emotions for the audience.

Stating that in times of difficulty, hardship and challenge, everyone needs a support, the Prime Minister highly appreciated VTV's initiative to name the program "Vietnam Support". In that spirit, the Prime Minister shared about 6 supports:

That is the spiritual fulcrum of great national unity, unity within the Party, unity among the people, national unity, international unity, "Unity, unity, great unity, success, success, great success" as beloved Uncle Ho said.

The fulcrum has the glorious leadership of the Communist Party with a history of nearly 95 years. Our Party has no other goal than to gain independence and freedom for the nation, and to care for a prosperous and happy life for the people.

The fulcrum of the nation's heroic, civilized, and cultured historical traditions; the spirit of "mutual love and support", "love others as you love yourself", "the whole leaf covers the torn leaf, the torn leaf covers the more torn leaf", "Gourd, please love the squash/ Although different in species, they are on the same trellis".

The people's fulcrum. The people make history; strength comes from the people. "A hundred times easier without the people, we can endure/ A thousand times harder with the people, we can overcome."

The fulcrum of the Army and the Police. “In times of need and difficulty, there is the Army and the Police”. “Our Army comes from the people, fights for the people”; “Our Police forget themselves for the country, serve the people”.

The spiritual fulcrum of self-reliance and self-improvement of our nation and of each of us is that when facing difficulties and complexities, the more pressure we have, the more we strive to rise above our own limits with the spirit of "turning nothing into something, turning difficult into easy, turning impossible into possible".

With the above solid foundations, the Prime Minister called on compatriots and comrades to work twice as hard, "working during the day is not enough, take advantage of working at night" to contribute to overcoming the consequences of super typhoon No. 3 affecting 26 northern provinces and cities, contributing to building a strong and prosperous Vietnam; our people are increasingly prosperous and happy.
