Addressing the ceremony, the former State President Truong Tan Sang emphasized: “The inauguration and operation of local bridges at Thanh Hoa District are of great significance because these works will facilitate travel, trade and goods transportation, thereby contributing to improvement of material and spiritual life of farmers, bringing profound changes to rural, remote and extremely difficult areas.”

Mr. Truong Tan Sang expected the sponsors to keep supporting the program in the future so that rural people and students can safely travel on more new bridges. 

After more than a year in partnership with the “Rural Bridge Construction” program jointly initiated by the former State President Truong Tan Sang and General Council of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam, Dong Tam Group has inaugurated nearly 10 bridges worth over ten VND billion to date.
