"On the auspicious occasion of the New Year, the Year of the Dragon 2012, I cordially extend my best wishes to all Vietnamese people across the country and those living abroad," Sang said in his message.
He also extended wishes of peace, stability, cooperation and development to all foreign friends living and working in Viet Nam as well as people around the world.
Thanks to the joint efforts and determination of all Vietnamese citizens, comrades and soldiers, Viet Nam recorded significant progress in the Year of the Cat 2011 and overcame many difficulties and challenges to obtain considerable achievements in economic growth, social welfare, political stability and social order, and national defense and security, while firmly protecting the country's national sovereignty and territorial integrity and strengthening its external relations and international integration to raise the nation's status in the world.
"In this New Year of the Dragon 2012, although still facing numerous difficulties, the Party, army, and patriotic Vietnamese people with their firm trust in the Doi Moi (Renewal) process and the country's bright future ahead, let's unite to promote Vietnamese people of steadfastness and brainpower and culture and seize every opportunity to overcome all obstacles and challenges."
The country continues to obtain more achievements in national industrialisation, modernisation, construction and the defense of a Socialist Vietnam to build a wealthier, more beautiful and civilised country for the happiness and prosperity of the people, the President.
