Hanoi (VNA)🐬 – The Party, State and National Assembly (NA) appreciate and always keep in mind the precious sacrifice and contribution of Quang Nam province’s authorities and residents to the country’s revolution, NA Vice Chairman Do Ba Ty has said.

Ty said while the Party and State have continually paid heed to policies for national devotees, the NA has supervised the enforcement of relevant policies and laws and fine-tuned regulations on benefits for the devotees and AO/dioxin victims.
