Voters in Dak Lak province have requested the government to continue its policy of providing gifts to the public during the Lunar New Year and other significant national holidays.
In response, the Ministry of Finance stated that annually, on important national holidays, the President issues a policy to gift veterans and those who have contributed to the revolution. This includes occasions such as the Lunar New Year and War Invalids and Martyrs Day on July 27th.
In 2025, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification, as well as the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025), the President has decided to gift 500,000 VND to each veteran and contributor to the revolution.
Additionally, on National Day (September 2), the Party and State have also decided to gift 100,000 VND to every citizen as a token of gratitude and to share the joy of this significant day.
Voters in Dak Lak province have requested the government to continue its policy of providing gifts to the public during the Lunar New Year and other significant national holidays.
The Ministry of Finance has acknowledged the voters’ feedback and will collaborate with relevant ministries and agencies to advise and report to the appropriate authorities once the budget allows. The implementation of general policies and specific gift-giving to the public is based on the Party’s guidelines, the government’s directives, and the annual state budget’s capacity.
