Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung praised the elderly for their past experiences and contributions to the struggle for national liberation, construction and defence, as well as to role model movements to build a new lifestyle in the residential areas, and study and follow the late President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example.

Welcoming the lunar New Year, Mr Hung expressed his hope that senior Vietnamese citizens will uphold their traditions to become the mainstay of their children and make a greater contribution to the nation.
