Dear VNFU’s officials, members and farmers!

Over the past time, the Covid-19 pandemic with many complicated development has caused a number of difficulties and losses to the people of the country in general and to VNFU’s officials, members and farmers in particular.

 
Under the leadership of the Party and State, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union has issued many documents directing and guiding FU’s levels and farmers across the country to abide by the regulations on prevention and control of the Covid-19 pandemic, join hands to repel many dangerous outbreaks of COVID-19 in the past 2 years.

 
In many localities, the FU’s levels have promoted responsibility and creativity in advising the Party committees and authorities to organize, mobilize and connect resources (including the army, police , youth volunteers…) to help farmers in pandemic areas promptly harvest and consume agricultural products.

 
Farmers throughout the country have upheld the good cultural tradition of the nation, the spirit of solidarity, mutual love and affection, contributed efforts and means including giving thousands of tons of agricultural products to help people in pandemic areas, setting up groups to help each other take care of crops, harvest crops in the condition that many areas are isolated, workers are lacking... and organized many other meaningful activities.

 
On behalf of the leadership of Vietnam Farmers' Union, I warmly commend and highly appreciate the sense of responsibility and efforts of officials, employees of FU at all levels. I especially honor the spirit of solidarity, mutual love and affection, practical and magnanimous actions of members, farmers across the country, contributing to spreading trust in society.

 
Thank you for the timely participation of agencies, departments, branches, units and voluntary organizations and individuals in tackling difficulties and supporting farmers to overcome them!


Currently, the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic is having many complicated developments with the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus strain, which spreads rapidly, cause great damage to people's health and lives, seriously affects all aspects of life of the people in general, officials, members and farmers in particular.

 
To prevent and repel the Covid-19 pandemic with the spirit of "fighting the pandemic is like fighting the enemy, putting the protection of health and life of the people first and foremost" according to the call of the General Secretary of CPV’s Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong, I suggest that officials at all levels of the FU and farmers throughout the country promote their highest sense of civic responsibility, become a role model in the family and community,  absolutely not to neglect the pandemic, proactively overcome difficulties, uphold the spirit of mutual love and affection, solidarity with the Party and State in the prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic.

 
In particular, it is necessary to focus on effectively implementing the following actions:

Participate into Covid community support groups, support patients' families and people in isolated areas, help workers in industrial zones and repatriates because of the impact of the pandemic, assist each other in harvesting and consuming agricultural products in a timely manner.

 
FU at all levels continue to find creative solutions and effectively connect resources to help farmers overcome difficulties… In activities, each official, member and farmer needs to strictly comply with regulations on prevention of the pandemic set up by the health sector and local authorities to ensure the safety of your own life, families and the community.

 
Dear FU’s officials and farmers!

In the past, we have experienced many natural disasters and pandemics with serious losses, but we have overcome. Together we hold the rowing oars tightly when facing a big wave. I deeply believe that, with a strong will, a spirit of unity, and a good cultural tradition of kindness, all officials, members and farmers in the country will surely make an important contribution to  the efforts of the Party and State to prevent and repel the Covid-19 pandemic.
