  "account": "Party General Secretary and President To Lam attended a ceremony in Vinh Long, Vietnam on November 5 to celebrate National Great Unity Day and Vietnam Culture Day. He emphasized the importance of linking the two events as it provides an opportunity for individuals to explore their cultural roots, appreciate ethnic heritage, and foster a shared sense of national culture. To Lam recognized the efforts of residents, Buddhist monks, respected citizens, and those committed to heritage preservation. He encouraged provincial officials, authorities, and organizations to strengthen community bonds and promote a sense of pride and responsibility for the nation's future. Cultural exchanges, community partnerships, and traditional education were proposed as ways to bring residents together. To Lam called for measures to protect endangered cultural forms, crafts, and knowledge, particularly for those at risk of disappearing. He stressed the importance of attention to children, the elderly, those with disabilities, disadvantaged families, and those living far from urban areas. The provincial leadership distributed great unity houses to disadvantaged families in Chau Thanh commune and broke ground for a cultural house in Bau Son hamlet. Earlier, To Lam visited a family in remembrance of a fallen hero.",
