Speaking at the ceremony, Major General Nguyen Tien Trung - Director of Lang Son Provincial Police said that, implementing the policy of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Public Security on implementing the emulation movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide by 2025", Lang Son Provincial Police have proactively registered to implement the program to eliminate all temporary and dilapidated houses in Loc Binh district. The program received high consensus from the Ministry of Public Security with a support level of up to 20.4 billion VND from the socialized source of the Ministry of Public Security.
At the same time, the Provincial Police have also actively mobilized organizations and individuals to join hands to contribute, including support of 14 billion VND mobilized by the Provincial Police themselves and handed over to the People's Committee of Loc Binh District (old) to build and repair 393 new houses with a total cost of more than 34 billion VND. However, there are still many difficulties in terms of resources. With a proactive and exemplary spirit, the Party Committee and leaders of the Provincial Police have called for support from the State Bank of Vietnam, and have been promptly supported by the State Bank of Vietnam with 4 billion VND.
Permanent Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam Dao Minh Tu said that in recent years, the banking sector has always accompanied the entire political system in social security programs, especially in the work of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for the poor and disadvantaged. This is a good tradition that has been maintained for many years.
Mr. Dao Minh Tu informed that from the beginning of 2025, in response to the Prime Minister's call, the SBV has launched an emulation movement "Joining hands to eliminate 1,000 temporary and dilapidated houses".
To date, the banking sector has mobilized 82 billion VND, equivalent to 1,366 newly built houses, exceeding the original target by 36.6%. Of which, the SBV has allocated VND15 billion to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and directly supported 26 other provinces and cities with a total value of VND67 billion. Lang Son province is one of the localities supported in this period, with a budget of 4 billion VND drawn from the contribution of one day's salary of all cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers in the banking industry...
On behalf of the local government, Mr. Luong Trong Quynh - Vice Chairman of Lang Son Provincial People's Committee expressed his deep gratitude for the timely and affectionate support of the State Bank of Vietnam. He said that Lang Son is a mountainous border province with low development starting points and many difficulties in socio-economic conditions. However, the province has made many efforts, especially in effectively implementing social security programs and sustainable poverty reduction. With the active support of the Provincial Police, philanthropists and now support from the State Bank of Vietnam, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses is bringing clear results, helping to stabilize the lives of hundreds of households.
The support of 4 billion VND from the State Bank of Vietnam is truly at the right time and place. This will be an essential resource for the province to continue implementing the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, aiming to leave no one behind, Mr. Quynh affirmed.
