While speaking at the launch of a tree planting festival held in Cam Pha city, the northern province of Quang Ninh, on February 2, Pesident Tran Dai Quang called on people to plant trees according to their conditions.
Pesident Tran Dai Quang attended the launch of a tree planting festival which was organised jointly by Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the northern province of Quang Ninh at the environmental recovery area of the Deo Nai Coal Joint Stock Company, an affiliate of the Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Ltd., in Cam Pha city, on February 2.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, nearly 222,000ha of land nationwide were covered by forests while 7.3 billion USD worth of forest products were exported in 2016.
A number of mechanisms and policies which combine forest protection with social welfare ensuring were issued, thus promoting forestry restructuring.
Forestry was a big contributor to the expansion of the whole agricultural sector, the ministry said.
Addressing the tree planting festival, President Quang said on November 28, 1959, the Nhan dan (People) newspaper published an article entitled “Tree planting festival” written by then President Ho Chi Minh. The article analysed the importance of planting trees to the country and each people and called for all people’s engagement in the work.
Since then, the tree planting festival has become a custom practiced whenever a new year comes. Tree planting and afforestation activities have been implemented in a widespread and effective manner and significantly contributed to the nation's environmental protection and socio-economic development, the President said.
The State leader described forest planting and protection as increasingly important amidst global climate change, and stressed that concrete and practical solutions should be taken to prevent deforestation in order to fuel economic growth and improve people’s living standards.
Also on February 2, President Quang visited a national relic site where late President Ho Chi Minh visited workers of the Deo Nai coal mining site on March 30, 1959.
The same day, the President visited officials and civil servants of Quang Ninh province on the occasion of the Tet festival.
During the meeting, President Quang emphasised that Quang Ninh, as a province with a long borderline and coast, must pay special attention to reinforcing defence-security to firmly safeguard the national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He said that the province needs to thoroughly grasp the Party and State’s foreign policy to join neighbouring China in building a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.
