Lookatvietnam - State President Nguyen Minh Triet has called on the entire Party, people and army to plant and protect forests to meet the country’s requirements for socio-economic development and national security.

Addressing a tree planting festival in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh on February 1, Mr Triet noted that tree planting is not costly but brings about high socio-economic and environmental efficiency.

He said despite unfavourable weather conditions in 2008, Vietnam overcame the consequences of natural disasters and paid more attention to planting and protecting forests, particularly through a programme to plant 5 million hectares of forests, helping raise the national forest coverage to more than 39 percent.

Mr Triet also pointed out the inefficiency of forest plantation and protection in several localities, saying severe forest destruction is taking place, causing harm to the environment.

“Forest destruction is a crime which should be duly punished. The people must detect and prevent such acts,” said the President.

The same day, Mr Triet offered incense to the late President Ho Chi Minh in front of his statue in Hoa Binh City and planted a tree there.
