Coast Guard bolsters support for religious groups in Đông Nai

The Vietnamese Coast Guard in Đồng Nai Province has embarked on a series of annual activities aimed at strengthening solidarity with local religious communities and promoting public awareness of maritime sovereignty. These activities, which are part of the Coast Guard's mass mobilization programs "Coast Guard accompanies fishermen" and "Coast Guard with ethnic and religious communities," are being held in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution on August 19 and National Day on September 2.

On August 30, the Intelligence Division No. 2, based in Đông Nai Province, launched the series of community activities. Senior Lieutenant Colonel Phan Nhân Hậu, the head of the Intelligence Division No. 2, the Secretary of the Party Committee, and Political Commissar, gave a speech at an event held at Phước Thanh Pagoda.

The key events are scheduled at Phước Thanh Pagoda (August 30), Nhơn Trạch High School (September 6), and the People's Committee Hall of Đại Phước Commune (September 13).

The activities involve the distribution of 150 gifts to local students and Buddhist followers in disadvantaged circumstances, as well as free health check-ups, consultations, and medicines for about 500 local residents in collaboration with Medic Bình Dương General Hospital.

Senior Lieutenant Colonel Phan Nhân Hậu discussed the situation in the East Sea, protecting the country's sovereignty over its sea and islands, and the fight against drug-related crime at sea with Buddhist followers in Đông Nai Province. The activities address the protection of the country's sovereignty over its sea and islands and the fight against drug-related crime at sea.

The activities also aim to disseminate the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws on sea and islands, and the situation in the East Sea (South China Sea).
