Since 1995, after 30 years of establishment and development, the Vietnam Association of the Elderly has become a representative organization caring for and protecting the rights and legitimate interests of the elderly. This is not only an important historical milestone, but also a testament to the care and honor of the elderly - a generation that has made great contributions to the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.

According to Mr. Phan Van Hung, in the context of the country facing strong development opportunities but also facing many challenges, especially the trend of rapid population aging, the Vietnam Association of the Elderly continues to promote its role, tradition, solidarity and intelligence, contributing to the glorious revolutionary cause led by the Party. Entering the era of national development, the elderly need to promote the Dien Hong spirit to the fullest, affirming their important role in the new development stage.
