At the same time, the "Planting Trees in Remembrance of Uncle Ho" program was organized to encourage officials, union members, and employees of the banking sector to uphold the fine tradition of Tet (Lunar New Year) and Spring, following the teachings of President Ho Chi Minh . This year, the leadership of the State Bank of Vietnam and the Vietnam Banking Union also launched another extremely practical and meaningful activity: a program encouraging officials, union members, and employees of the banking sector to contribute one day's salary to support the "Joining Hands to Eliminate 1,000 Temporary and Dilapidated Houses" program nationwide, in response to the Prime Minister's call.
Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam and Chairman of the Vietnam Banking Union, Dao Minh Tu, launched two programs.
Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, Dao Minh Tu, emphasized: “Housing is one of the essential needs of human beings and one of the factors contributing to the development of the country's human resources. The Party and State have always paid attention to and identified the provision of housing for the people as a social issue, a key task in social security and sustainable poverty reduction.”
Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu, on behalf of the State Bank of Vietnam's leadership and the Vietnam Banking Union, called on all officials, union members, and employees throughout the banking system to actively participate in the "Planting Trees in Remembrance of Uncle Ho" program and the "Planting 1 Million Green Trees" program launched by the Prime Minister with the highest sense of responsibility to contribute to greening the earth, preventing natural disasters, saline intrusion, and responding to climate change. At the same time, he urged them to actively donate at least one day's salary to join the banking sector in "Eliminating 1,000 temporary and dilapidated houses" nationwide, in response to the 350-day campaign to successfully implement the "Nationwide Campaign to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Houses" in 2025 as directed by the Prime Minister.
Governor Nguyen Thi Hong hopes that all union members, officials, civil servants, and employees in the banking sector will actively participate in these two meaningful programs.
Speaking at the ceremony, Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, Nguyen Thi Hong, emphasized: These two programs are very significant for the banking sector and the country. They are practical activities that encourage union members and employees in the banking sector to continue to uphold their shared responsibility to the community and society, accompanying the Government in implementing national target programs and striving to achieve the goal of essentially eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses by 2025. To ensure the program's effectiveness, she requested that heads and union chairpersons of all units in the banking sector highly demonstrate exemplary responsibility and pioneering spirit in organizing and implementing the programs within their respective units, and to thoroughly understand, motivate, encourage, and promote the active participation of cadres, union members, and employees in their units in the two programs. The comrade expressed his wish that all union members, officials, civil servants, and employees of the banking sector actively participate in these two meaningful programs, contributing to environmental protection, combating climate change, and upholding the fine spirit and traditions of our nation and the banking sector in social welfare work, "helping those in need; those with less help those with even less," ensuring that no one is left behind.
Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Nguyen Thi Hong emphasized: 2025 is of special importance, a year of acceleration and breakthrough to achieve the goals of the 2021-2025 five-year socio-economic development plan. It is also a year of many significant national events – the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Party, the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification, the 135th anniversary of the birth of President Ho Chi Minh, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Nation, and the year of holding Party congresses at all levels, leading up to the 14th National Party Congress, opening a new era – an era of striving, developing, becoming rich, civilized, and prosperous for the nation. In the context of forecasts indicating continued difficulties and challenges in the global and domestic economies, the comrade hopes that all comrades, officials, civil servants, and employees of the banking sector will continue to strongly promote their courage, intelligence, solidarity, innovation, creativity, and professional ethics to work together, share, and strive to overcome all difficulties and challenges, and to best fulfill all assigned tasks, contributing even more positively to the overall achievements of the country in 2025, worthy of the role and position of the banking sector as the lifeblood of the economy.
