Colonel Bui Van Sy added: In 2025, responding to the Movement "Elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses", the provincial armed forces built 12 military-civilian gratitude houses, repaired over 10 houses for ethnic minority households and religious people in need of houses; mobilized billions of VND in funding, participated in thousands of working days of officers and soldiers to build civil works, helping people overcome difficulties to stabilize their lives; built and donated 3 cultural, physical training and sports complexes to improve the material and spiritual life of ethnic and religious people.

Meaningful activities have contributed to creating a widespread influence in the community, contributing to the good implementation of the Party and State's social security policies and improving people's lives. These also continue to strengthen the strong solidarity between the army and the people and strongly spread the noble value of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" in the new situation.

Since 2020, implementing the Program "Friendly connection between the armed forces of Military Region 7 and people of all ethnic groups and religions", Dong Nai province has received investment from the military region to build many cultural and sports projects in ethnic minority and religious communities. Typical examples include cultural and sports center donated to Hoa Binh - Xuan Loc College; a library for the Buddhist Intermediate School (dedicated to nuns); cultural and sports center for Muslim community.
