Speaking at the ceremony, President Vo Van Thuong emphasized that the South Central region has a large number of fishing boats and forces operating in the waters of the Truong Sa archipelago. Every year, more than 10 large and small storms make landfall in the central region of our country, so radio waves are an extremely useful source of information to minimize human and property damage caused by natural disasters to fishermen and people in the South Central coastal region.

In addition, in the face of complicated and unpredictable developments in the security and order situation in the East Sea, there are many activities violating Vietnam's sovereignty and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea; foreign broadcasting stations and reactionary forces have increased broadcasting of radio programs in Vietnamese to propagate and sabotage the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The President praised the Voice of Vietnam for its determination in completing the project according to plan, and welcomed the sharing and contribution of Ninh Thuan province, which has actively coordinated well with the Voice of Vietnam to complete the tasks assigned by the Party, State and people.
