Activities are maintained periodically, creating conditions for workers to exchange, improve spiritual life and practice health.
Mr. Bui Van Thang said that after the Sports Festival, the health training movement at units will certainly develop more strongly.

Here, Mr. Toan expressed his wish that the Corporation would continue to pay attention to, maintain and organize many exchange and sports activities annually, thereby creating a useful playground, encouraging officials and employees, strengthening solidarity and contributing to successfully completing the assigned production and business tasks.
