In addition to Tet gifts, departments, branches and municipalities must make efforts to take care of the people during the Tet holiday, so that no one will be deprived on Tet festival. In particular, municipal governments must always pay attention and create favorable conditions for people to have a better life both materially and spiritually; including the planning and development of urban infrastructure, recreation in the coming time".
