On the occasion of the 2026 Lunar New Year, the Ministry of Home Affairs organised a visit to its historical roots, offered incense, and presented gifts in Tan Trao Commune, Tuyen Quang Province on February 5.
The delegation was led by Do Thanh Binh, Minister of Home Affairs. Participants included Nguyen Huy Hung, Deputy Secretary of the Ministry's Party Committee, representatives from departments and units under the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry's Office, as well as representatives from Dantri Newspaper and other relevant units.
Local attendees included Hoang Gia Long, Vice Chairman of Tuyen Quang Provincial People's Committee, along with representatives from the Provincial Department of Home Affairs and leaders of Tan Trao Commune.
The delegation offered incense at the Ministry of Home Affairs' historical site in Tan Trao Commune, Tuyen Quang Province. This activity holds significant traditional educational value, honouring generations of officials, public servants, and workers in the home affairs sector.
According to a representative from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the visit to the historical site and social welfare activities during Tet not only carry profound humanitarian significance but also provide an opportunity for officials and public servants in the sector to reflect on their traditions and enhance their sense of responsibility in carrying out assigned tasks, especially as the Ministry of Home Affairs is implementing many important tasks related to organisational restructuring, public service, and civil servants.
Alongside the incense offering, the delegation presented Tet gifts to disadvantaged families in Tan Trao Commune.
The gifts demonstrate the Ministry of Home Affairs' care and sharing with local residents, helping families celebrate the Lunar New Year 2026 in a warm and compassionate atmosphere.
Giang Tuan Anh, Secretary of the Tan Trao Commune Party Committee, stated that Tan Trao Commune was recently merged from three former communes: Tan Trao, Trung Yen, and Kim Quan, all areas with a revolutionary tradition. He noted that thanks to the attention from the central government and the province, and the efforts of local Party committees and authorities, the socio-economic life of the commune has seen positive changes.
However, Tan Trao remains a remote commune, and residents still face many hardships. Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs' visit and gift-giving programme not only provides material support but also offers significant spiritual encouragement to local officials and people.
“This is a motivation for us to continue striving to develop our homeland of Tan Trao, making it increasingly prosperous and worthy of its status as the Capital of the Liberated Zone and the Capital of Resistance,” he said.
