According to Colonel Huynh Van Khoi - Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Command, the military-civilian Tet with the theme "An Giang military and people celebrate Chol ChnamThmay 2026" will take place from November 14, 2025 to April 10, 2026. The program aims to propagate, educate, promote the spirit of solidarity and patriotism; unite the military and people to successfully carry out the two strategic tasks of building and defending the Fatherland, thereby contributing to the effective implementation of social security policies, building new rural areas, and consolidating the great national unity bloc.

Within the framework of the activities, many practical projects and tasks were implemented. All levels and sectors built 40 houses (VND 60 million/house) for poor and near-poor households. Ms. Thi Loan's house in Hon Queo hamlet was one of the first projects to start. Ms. Loan emotionally shared: "My old house was dilapidated and I had no money to rebuild it. Now that I have received support to build a solidarity house, I am very happy."

Organizations and unions in the province will build rural traffic bridges, carry out projects to light up rural roads, flower roads, incinerators and support water tanks for people. The Provincial Association for the Support of Poor Patients will build a bridge on the east bank of Xa Kich canal. The Provincial Farmers' Association and the Provincial Union of Friendship Organizations will build two more bridges in Ben Da hamlet. The Rach Mui, Rach Bai Tre, and Co Hai Temple - Long Son Tu roads will also be installed with solar lights, adding to the flower roads that are several kilometers long, creating a spacious appearance for the Hon Dat countryside.

In the series of military-civilian Tet activities to celebrate Chol Chnam Thmay in 2026, medical examinations, free medicine, and gift giving to policy families, poor households, and students who have overcome difficulties to study well will also be carefully organized.
