On October 29, General Secretary To Lam sent a letter of condolences and encouragement to compatriots, officers and soldiers across the country who are responding to and overcoming the consequences of natural disasters in recent days.

Dan Tri Newspaper respectfully introduces the content of the General Secretary 's Letter of Inquiry:

"Dear compatriots, officers and soldiers across the country!

In recent days, many of our localities have continuously suffered from prolonged heavy rains, rapidly rising floods, landslides, deep inundation, traffic disruption, causing heavy damage to people and property.

In many places, people had to evacuate urgently at night, houses were swept away, livelihoods were interrupted, life was turned upside down. Particularly serious is the central provinces from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai, where floods and landslides are developing very complicatedly, continuing to threaten people's safety.

While working abroad, I have been following the situation with concern and anxiety. I send my warmest regards and deepest sympathies to all the people affected by the natural disasters in the past few days.

I send my condolences to the families whose loved ones unfortunately died in the floods and landslides; my sincere encouragement to those who are injured, still isolated, still struggling with lack of electricity, clean water, and safe housing.

I appreciate and respect the sense of responsibility, timeliness, dedication and courage of local Party committees and authorities, especially grassroots authorities; of the police, military, medical and youth volunteer forces; of rescue forces, unions, the Fatherland Front, social organizations, businesses and people.

Many officers, soldiers and people did not fear the danger to evacuate people, bring food, warm clothes and medicine to each deeply flooded area and each isolated area. That is the sentiment of compatriots, the tradition of "sharing food and clothes", the strength that makes up the Vietnamese spirit.

I request Party committees, authorities, Fatherland Fronts and organizations in all localities affected by natural disasters - especially provinces from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai - to continue to focus on the urgent task at hand: saving people and protecting people's lives above all else.

It is necessary to review, warn and immediately evacuate households in areas at risk of flash floods and landslides; absolutely do not let any people go hungry, cold or isolated without timely support. It is necessary to ensure safe temporary accommodation, clean water, medicine and special care for the elderly, children, pregnant women and vulnerable groups.

I request that local forces urgently take initial steps to repair essential infrastructure: traffic, electricity, and communications; promptly count the damage, proactively provide first support to the most disadvantaged people; prioritize the restoration of schools, medical stations, and essential public works so that people can soon return to normal life.

Central ministries, departments and agencies must go directly to the field, grasp the situation, handle each specific issue, without formality, without leaving any gaps in responsibility. All support must go to the right people, to the right needs, at the right time.

Dear compatriots, officers and soldiers across the country!

Natural disasters may still be complicated. But in difficult times, we see more clearly the national spirit, understand more clearly the strength of solidarity, of the Vietnamese people's love.

I have full confidence that with the decisive participation of the entire political system and with the resilient and benevolent spirit of our people, our compatriots in disaster-stricken areas will rise up, stabilize their lives and restore production in the soonest time.

Dear compatriots, officers and soldiers in all areas affected by floods and landslides in recent days, we would like to send our sincere regards and steadfast belief.

TO LAM

General Secretary of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam".
