Speaking with the workers, the Prime Minister recognized and thanked the silent contributions of the environmental sanitation force, especially during the year-end period when the workload significantly increases. He stated that the workers' dedication helps maintain the capital's bright, green, clean, and beautiful appearance, serving residents as they celebrate spring and Tet.

Acknowledging the difficulties and hardships of high-intensity work, the head of government urged Hanoi city and environmental enterprises to increase the application of science and technology and invest in modern vehicles and equipment. This aims to reduce physical strain and enhance productivity. He also emphasized the importance of caring for workers' lives, providing regular health check-ups, and ensuring occupational safety, so workers can commit long-term to their profession.

The Prime Minister also expressed his desire for environmental workers to continue promoting a spirit of responsibility and to coordinate public awareness campaigns. These campaigns should encourage residents to enhance their environmental protection consciousness, collect waste on time and in designated areas, and separate waste at the source.
