On January 9, at Da Nang Military Port, soldiers of the Naval Region 3 Command together packed and transported Tet gift boxes onto ship 390 - Naval Region 3, waiting to cross the waves to reach officers, soldiers, and people in the island region.

Like previous years, the Tet At Ty 2025 gifts cannot lack sticky rice, dong leaves, pork, cakes, jams and essential items.

This year, the trip to visit and wish a happy new year to officers, soldiers and people in the two island districts of Con Co and Ly Son is expected to take place from January 9 to January 12, 2025.

Soldier Nguyen Tuan Vu (Brigade 172, Naval Region 3) shared: "This is the first year I celebrate Tet at the unit. I am very happy because I can personally prepare gifts to send to my comrades and comrades on the remote islands. I hope these gifts will bring joy and warmth, helping everyone have a complete Tet."

The gifts sent to Con Co and Ly Son islands were contributed by organizations, businesses, individuals and localities on the mainland.
