Despite their advanced age, they continue to actively participate in local activities and set exemplary standards across many fields.

On this occasion, Thang also briefed attendees on several key results of the ward's political tasks in 2025. The local economy recorded solid growth, with total budget revenue reaching 160% of the assigned estimate for 2025.

The ward focused on coordinated and proactive implementation of land management, urban management, and construction order oversight. Disbursement of capital for basic construction investment reached 100% of the plan. 

Cultural and social sectors continued to develop, social security was ensured, and residents' material and spiritual living standards improved. Administrative reform linked with digital transformation was carried out with increasing determination. Local defense and military work were strengthened, while political security and social order and safety were maintained.

Party building and the strengthening of the political system saw many positive changes. The leadership capacity and combat strength of grassroots Party organizations, along with the quality of cadres and Party members, continued to improve.

Thang emphasized that the overall achievements of Bach Mai Ward include significant contributions from Party members, especially veteran members and those receiving Party Badges at this ceremony. 

The ward Party Committee hopes that, with their enthusiasm, wisdom, sense of responsibility, and rich experience, the honorees will continue to lead by example, contribute to Party building, and support the development of the country, the capital, and Bach Mai Ward. They are also expected to encourage and inspire younger generations of cadres and Party members.

On the occasion of the upcoming Lunar New Year, Spring Binh Ngo 2026, Thang extended his best wishes to the veteran members for good health, peace, and longevity, hoping they will remain a firm pillar and a bright example for younger generations to follow.
