Recalling the historical significance of the Great Victory of Spring 1975, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong affirmed that this was a glorious milestone in the nation's history, successfully concluding the protracted resistance war against the American imperialists and ushering the country into an era of independence and unity. This victory was made possible by the immense contributions of millions of cadres, soldiers, and people nationwide, including the wounded and sick soldiers being cared for at the Center. The Party Committee, government, and people of Bac Ninh province always remember and are deeply grateful for these great contributions; at the same time, they affirm that caring for those who have rendered meritorious service is an important, regular, and long-term political task, reflecting the profound humanity of the regime.

Bac Ninh province has always considered the care of those who have rendered meritorious services to the revolution as a regular, important, and humane political task. The province has paid attention to fully and promptly implementing preferential regimes and policies; mobilizing many social resources to care for the material and spiritual lives of those who have rendered meritorious services and their relatives. Many specific policies from the provincial budget have been issued to improve the spiritual and material lives of those who have rendered meritorious services.

In particular, in the context of the province's accelerated socio-economic development, aiming to become a centrally-governed city before 2030, the "Gratitude and Repayment" work is increasingly identified as an important task, contributing to consolidating the people's trust and strengthening national unity.
