A program, entitled “Coast guards support religious and ethnic minority people,” was jointly organized by the Vietnam Coast Guard Command, the Laborers’ Newspaper, and local Party committee and authorities on December 5 in Nghi Quang commune, Nghe An province’s Nghi Loc district.
During the event, the organizers disseminated the Law on Vietnam Coast Guards, Law on Drug Prevention and Control, illegal, information about unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing prevention, and the Party's and State’s guidelines and policies on religious affairs, to 500 locals.
They also handed over 2,000 national flags, 20 first aid kits to local fishermen, and distributed 600 leaflets on the Vietnamese coast guards and IUU fishing prevention, and drug prevention and control to local people.
On the occasion, the Vietnam Coast Guard Command also conducted a number of social welfare activities, such as visiting and presenting gifts to Vinh diocese, Loc My parish in Nghi Loc district, needy religious families, and 270 other local policy beneficiary families, parishioners, and fishermen.
The command also worked with the Young Vietnamese Physicians’ Association and the Nghe An provincial Military Command to give free health checkups and medicines to 100 policy beneficiaries and parishioners with adversity in life. It teamed up with local political organizations and young people to grow trees along the two sides of the inter-village road.
