During the pre-Tet visit, the Hanoi Party Secretary asked about their health and living conditions and met with their family members. Ngoc also wished the families good health, peace and prosperity.
He paid tribute to the sacrifices and contributions of wounded and sick soldiers, policy beneficiary families and those who supported the revolution during the struggle for national liberation and defense.
