“Memories of Victory – Journey of Well-Being”

Deputy Director of Management and Operation of An Giang Social Insurance Le Chi Thanh

Reporter: Sir, why did we choose the theme "Memories of Victory - Journey of Social Security" for this year's National Social Insurance Month?

Mr. Le Chi Thanh: This year's theme was chosen to connect the heroic spirit of the Southern Liberation Day with the efforts of the Party and State in building a sustainable social security system. We want to arouse national pride, the tradition of solidarity and spread the message: Social insurance policy is the continuation of the revolutionary ideal - caring for the lives of the people.

Integrating the dissemination of social insurance policies with the 50th anniversary of national reunification helps to review historical traditions, especially for the younger generation, who will continue to shoulder the responsibility of protecting and developing the country. At the same time, it communicates the superiority and humanity of social insurance and health insurance policies - two important social policies, pillars of the social security system.

PV: Can you share the main highlights of the 2025 National Social Insurance Month?

Mr. Le Chi Thanh: We have identified 3 main activities. The highlight is to organize a synchronous launching ceremony from the province to the grassroots level on May 5, combined with launching emulation movements and mobile communications in districts, towns and cities. Organize the Social Insurance Communication Day associated with visual and on-site propaganda, such as: Hanging banners, standees, broadcasting on loudspeakers at the grassroots level, organizing more than 100 thematic communication conferences targeting specific target groups (farmers, freelance workers, women, union members, etc.). In addition, organize a livestream in mid-May on the topic "New points of the Social Insurance Law"; release documents, short videos, and apply social networks to reach young people, especially freelance workers in urban areas and new rural areas.

Reporter: How does the provincial Social Insurance assign tasks to ensure effective operation, sir?

Mr. Le Chi Thanh: Our plan clearly states each task, assigns tasks to each department and level. The Communications Department is responsible for developing plans, organizing launching ceremonies, livestreaming... The Revenue Management Department - Books and Cards is responsible for reviewing potential data, assigning development targets for participants to each district, and urging implementation... District-level Social Insurance organizes at least 2 thematic communication conferences, displays standees at the agency... Mobilizes the grassroots propaganda network (neighborhood groups, hamlet chiefs, union officials) to spread information.

Reporter: What targets and solutions does the provincial Social Insurance Department set to achieve the set plan, sir?

Mr. Le Chi Thanh: The provincial Social Insurance assigned targets for each district, town, and city for voluntary social insurance, increasing at least 100 new people, continuing to pay 300 people; family health insurance, increasing 500 new people, matured 6,000 people, Tri Ton district and Tinh Bien town alone with 3,000 people. These are challenging numbers, but the industry is determined to implement them.

The provincial Social Insurance has implemented 4 groups of solutions: Strengthening persuasive, close-to-people, easy-to-understand communication, using the Khmer language where there are ethnic minorities, or coordinating with prestigious people (teachers, monks, abbots, village heads, hamlet heads, residential group leaders, etc.). Providing potential data for the collection and classification service organization to have appropriate mobilization solutions. At the same time, giving gifts, supporting the contribution level from social mobilization sources; launching a movement to give voluntary social insurance books to people in difficult circumstances, etc.

Reporter: How does the province integrate propaganda into the new points of the Social Insurance Law, sir?

Mr. Le Chi Thanh : One of the highlights of this year's Social Insurance Month is that we actively promote the new points of the Social Insurance Law, which will take effect from July 1, 2025. Specifically: Supplementing social pension benefits to form a multi-layered social insurance system, increasing the connection between social pension benefits and basic social insurance, expanding the scope of participation, encouraging employees to reserve their contribution period to receive pensions instead of receiving one-time social insurance payments...

In particular, adding maternity benefits to the voluntary social insurance policy is very meaningful for self-employed women. We plan to organize a livestream on the topic "New points of the Social Insurance Law", and include this content in all communication conferences at the district and commune levels to help people understand and actively participate.

PV: What solutions does the province have to mobilize young people to join the journey of social security?

Mr. Le Chi Thanh: We coordinate with the Youth Union, vocational schools, and job placement centers to integrate social insurance propaganda into career and career orientation seminars. Digital media (videos, minigames on social networks) to bring the message "pay social insurance early - receive a stable pension" closer to young people.

I hope you all take some time to listen to the social insurance policy. This is not just a story about old age, but an optimal prevention plan for risks, for illness and for your loved ones. Each voluntary social insurance book is a foundation for social security, each health insurance card is a shield for health. Let the National Social Insurance Month not only be a month of action for the social insurance industry, but also a month for all An Giang people to embark on a journey of proactive and sustainable social security.

PV: Thank you!

HANH CHAU (Implementation)
