Over VND133.3 trillion spent on giving assistance to revolutionary contributors

According to MOLISA Minister Dao Ngoc Dung, a majority of revolutionary contributors and their relatives have fully and promptly enjoyed preferential policies. The number of revolutionary contributors recognized and receiving policies is increasing, while the regular assistance has been adjusted.

Regarding remaining profiles requesting recognition as revolutionary contributors, Minister Dung said that MOLISA would focus on addressing the profiles by the end of 2017.

During a press conference marking the 70^th anniversary of the Day for Wounded Soldiers and Martyrs (July 27^th), Minister Dung said that policies caring for revolutionary contributors who go abroad for permanent residence would be issued in the near future.

He added that the ministry would propose policies for the third generation born infected by toxic chemicals from their grandparents, exposed while joining revolutionary activities.
