On August 1, 2003, the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front issued Resolution No. 04/NQ/DCT-MTTW on organizing the "National Solidarity Day", which was later stipulated in Article 11 of the Law on the Vietnam Fatherland Front 2015: "November 18 every year is the Traditional Day of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the National Great Unity Day". Comrade Tran Thi Thoa - Vice Chairwoman of the Ninh Binh Provincial Fatherland Front Committee said: "The organization of the annual Ethnic Minority Day in residential areas has become a beautiful tradition, with profound humanistic significance, a solid bridge between the Party, the Government and the People. Recognizing the role of solidarity in self-management models in residential areas, in recent times, the Fatherland Front at all levels in the province has closely coordinated with the government and organizations to propagate and mobilize people to build self-management models suitable to the characteristics of each locality, focusing on the content of socio-economic development, protecting security and order, and building a civilized life. In particular, in the context of Ninh Binh province entering a new stage of development, the requirements for the role of self-management in residential areas and the awareness of law compliance of each citizen are even higher. In the coming time, the Fatherland Front at all levels will continue to innovate the content and methods of operation; mobilize people to unite, be creative, compete in patriotism, contributing to building the homeland of Ninh Binh. increasingly rich, beautiful and civilized."

In line with the emulation movement nationwide, the spirit of patriotism and the bloc of ethnic minorities in Ninh Binh homeland has been increasingly cultivated and put into practice. Through the movements and campaigns launched by the Fatherland Front at all levels, it has created a vibrant atmosphere, spreading widely throughout localities such as actively mobilizing all classes of people to improve the quality and effectiveness in implementing the emulation movement "The whole country joins hands to build new rural areas" associated with the campaign "The whole people unite to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas"; promoting the role of the people as the main subject in building new rural areas, encouraging the development of economic models, helping each other to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, voluntarily donating land, contributing labor and money to build infrastructure, roads, public works, grassroots cultural institutions and community activity points, contributing to changing the face of the countryside.
