On November 15, Residential Group 26 in Duc Giang Cluster, Viet Hung Ward, held its 2025 Great National Unity Festival.

Nguyen Doan Toan, Head of the Commission for Publicity, Education and Mass Mobilization Commission under the Hanoi Party Committee, attended the event.

According to Group 26's report, the community launched several successful programs under Party and government guidance.

The local Fatherland Front Committee's Working Board supported economic development by helping 10 households access loans totaling VND800 million (US$30,360), guiding eight working-age residents into vocational training, and connecting thirty individuals with local job opportunities.

The "All People Unite to Build Cultural Life" movement recognized 225 households as "Cultural Families," or 97.4%, and honored fifty-two households as "Outstanding Cultural Families."

The community eliminated near-poor households, and its environment remains clean and green, with strong bonds of solidarity among residents.

Speaking at the festival, Toan emphasized that national unity remains one of the strongest forces helping Vietnam overcome challenges and sustain progress.

Through the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organizations, the country continues to strengthen patriotism, solidarity, and cooperation among ethnic and religious groups.

Reviewing the city's achievements, he said Hanoi overcame many difficulties in 2025.

The Party, government, and people worked together to maintain stability and support national development. The city's GRDP grew an estimated 7.92% in the first nine months of the year.

Hanoi started eight major infrastructure, urban and social projects in 2025 and made significant progress in Party-building and administrative reform. The city's political system became more streamlined and effective, and the two-tier local-government model improved services for residents and businesses.

Toan praised Viet Hung Ward for its achievements, including a commendation from the city chairman for its strong performance in the "45-Day Digital Transformation Campaign."

Local budget revenue reached more than VND5.4 trillion ($205 million), or 87% of the yearly target. He said these results reflect public confidence in Party leadership and government actions.

Toan congratulated the community and honored outstanding households and encouraging them to support one another, help vulnerable families, observe modern customs in weddings and funerals, preserve cultural values, and uphold the traditions of thousand-year-old Thang Long – Hanoi.

He also called on the ward Party Committee to support the local Fatherland Front in its work to strengthen residential areas.

At the festival, Toan presented gifts from the city to residents of Group 26. He and local leaders also honored individuals and groups who made meaningful contributions to community development.
