Mr. Vo Viet Cuong - Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of Con Co island district said that the unit will hold a quite solemn celebration with about 220 guests. Among them, there are leaders of Military Region 4, Navy Region 3, Coast Guard Region 2, leaders of the province and agencies in the province...
“The island district leaders agreed to include in the invitation that units participating in the ceremony should not give congratulatory flowers to avoid waste. There is no fresh flower shop on the island, so if units come to attend the celebration and buy flowers on the mainland and then transport them out, it will be difficult and expensive" - Mr. Vo Viet Cuong informed.
It is known that Con Co island district is nearly 30km from the mainland and was established in 2004. From a military island, this island has been transformed into a civilian island since 2005.
