Talking to the press after voting, President Phuc, who is also a candidate of HCM City in the NA election, emphasised the great national solidarity, highlighting the need to further promote solidarity among the people, among religions, as well as among Vietnamese at home and abroad so as to jointly develop Vietnam.

He called on the more than 69 million voters nationwide to bring into play the spirit of solidarity and select moral and talented persons to the NA and all-level People’s Councils.
