23/2/15
President Truong Tan Sang talking with officers and people in Central Highlands
Spending much of care to the farmers and fishermen, in recent year, President Truong Tan Sang has made lots
of far journeys to remote areas, where the life of people is very difficult.
The journeys has
left many interesting stories
in the movement of building new countryside and shipbuilding to help fishmen stick to their work, raising the living
income and preserving national sovereignty
on the sea. The feeling
and attention of the State President has left a deep impression in the hearts of the people at the first meeting with the head of state.
“Into jungles” to build new countryside
If you close
your eyes and just use your ears to
feel, you will think this is a story between
two old farmers.
The South farmer and the North
farmer are discussing about raising
a cow.
The South-accent farmer
asks: “In this mountainous area, can you
earn 1 million per month?”
The North-accent farmer answer: “My home
is raising two cows. After one year
and a half it lays.
The calf worth 15 million. So each month, I earn 2 million for my wife and I.
That’s very ok!”
The South-accent farmer: “So
after 5 years, you can change your life
with just initial investment of
20 million.”
Then he said louder for more people
around could hear him clear: “All of you
can see, we help each household
one cow, just 5 years
later they could changed their life. I hope the
next time I come hear, each household will have 5 or 7
cows.”
The North-accent farmer: “Absolutely,
next time President comes here, my house will have
a herd.”
This is a true
story, which happened at the
ending days of the Lunar Year
in Tan Lap village, Tan Trao
commune, Son Duong district, Tuyen Quang
province. The North-accent farmer is Mr. Hoang Ngoc, 75-year-old
veteran and the South-accent man
is President Truong Tan Sang. The warm conversation
between them was recorded when the President was visiting to motivate people to build the new countryside program.
At the conference on the results of the
new countryside
program in three communes of Tan Trao (Tuyen Quang),
Vinh Thach (Quang
Tri), in late January 1.2015 President announced that according to the proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development
- standing office of the National Steering
Committee for the construction
of new countryside – President has lobbied a
number of agencies, units and
businesses to support the three commune to reach standards of a new
rural commune and become typical
ones, having spreading effects and contributing to rural development movement of the whole country.
“Down to the sea” to hear the voice of fishermen
During 2014, President Truong Tan Sang
has made 5 journeys to coastal areas.
He has met not only provincial leaders, but also talked to the fishermen at remote
areas. In April 2014, President came to Tam Quang commune,
Nui Thanh district (Quang Nam) and Ly Son outpost island
(Quang Ngai) to
hear the most vivid stories of people
who are fishing on the traditional fishing grounds of Paracel
and Spartly Islands (Hoang Sa and Truong Sa). In May
2014, the President visited the island
District Co To (Quang Ninh province). In September, the President went to remote island of Tho Chu
island, Rach Gia district (Kien
Giang) that is south pole of the country. He also came to Con Co Island
(Quang Tri)...
It’s very normal when a president takes
care and come to areas of the country, but it’s special that President Truong
Tan Sang is very close and understand the real situation of the place he’s
visiting. A lot of fishermen, who’re living in remote island, have never had a
chance to see district and provincial leaders, but now they’re talking and
shaking hands with the President of the country and tell him their daily lives
stories and suggestions. The care and closeness of the President is the
motivation and creating trust for the people.
Then, right after
that, the government had implemented
a series of new policies related to economic - social
development for coastal areas, which was
very specific, detailed and close to the pressing
needs of the local people. Particularly, the Gov had implemented
quickly the policies which related to the loans for building new iron-shell boat, the
preferential conditions for the
development of seafood exploiting and processing, helping fishermen have comfortable
conditions and to be self-confident to
work at the sea, clinging sea...
This has created the consensus from the central to local
levels. Everyone have realized that the policies had come partly form the
President’s journeys to the local areas, especially the remote areas./.

President always takes care the daily life of ordinary people, especially who has much difficulties in their lives.
the President said that though the commune had met all 19 criteria of the Government's new rural area program, the people should not feel satisfied with the status, but they should promote their advantages for communal development.
He also urged the commune to solve problems with raising seedlings and breeding, developing local handicrafts and creating employment.
He also presented gifts to the people
Our Party and State leaders are so great, they are close to the people to understand and share difficulties in daily life of the people.
I agree with Mr Kien, they have to spend much of their time for the job and vey little for their family.
I myself really admire Mr Truong Tan Sang for his work and care for the poor people
So do I, I love the leaders not the bosses
The highest goal of the Party and State's to bring prosperity and happiness for the people.
Following the leadership of the Party, our country will get what we hope, I strongly believe that.
