With the position of the country's economic locomotive and especially the tradition of solidarity of the Party, Government and people of Ho Chi Minh City, in recent days, the spirit of mutual love and mutual assistance of the people of the city named after Uncle Ho has continuously promoted and spread their spirit and responsibility, to share with the spirit of the whole country to overcome the consequences of natural disasters, helping tens of thousands of families to return to normal life soon.
