Are Other Islands Granted the Same Privileges as Truong Sa?

“The sea can be cruel, but the islands are like a mother’s heart,” the words of Mr. Tu, a seasoned fisherman from Quang Ngai, continue to resonate with me. Are these remote, resilient islands in the vast blue sea all sheltered and favored like the “beloved child” Truong Sa? What is the truth about other islands receiving the same policies as Truong Sa Island? Let’s delve into this topic together!

Understanding the Special Policies for Truong Sa

When mentioning Truong Sa, we immediately think of the brave naval soldiers who day and night guard the country’s seas and skies. They live and work in harsh conditions, far from family, and lacking in material comforts. Therefore, the special policies for Truong Sa were established as a tribute, a source of moral encouragement, and practical support for the soldiers and civilians there.

Special Privileges

The preferential policies for Truong Sa cover many aspects:

• Economic support: Tax exemptions and reductions, support for production capital, and development of the marine economy.
• Social welfare: Support for food, fresh water, fuel, etc.
• Education and healthcare: Construction of schools and hospitals, support for teachers and doctors, etc.
• National defense and security: Investment in modern equipment and reinforcement of forces.

Noble Goals

The goal of this policy is not only to ensure the livelihood of the people but also to affirm sovereignty over the sea and islands, contributing to building Truong Sa into a strong center for marine economy, culture, and tourism.

Do Other Islands Receive Similar Policies?

The question arises: Do other islands receive the same policies as Truong Sa Island?

The Truth Is…

In reality, no other island receives the exact same special policies as Truong Sa. Each locality and territorial sea has its own specific characteristics; therefore, development policies also differ.

However…

This does not mean that other islands are “forgotten.” The Vietnamese government always pays attention to developing the marine economy, supporting fishermen who make a living from the sea, and protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands.

For example, policies supporting fishermen in borrowing capital to build high-capacity fishing vessels, constructing fishing ports and storm shelters… are applied to many coastal provinces and cities, from Quang Ninh, Hai Phong to Kien Giang, Ca Mau.

So, What Makes the Difference?

The exceptionally important strategic location for national defense and security, along with the harsh natural conditions, has made Truong Sa a special case, requiring specific preferential policies.

Spirituality and the Homeland’s Sea and Islands

Mr. Tu, the fisherman who goes to sea every year, once confided: “Regardless of the policies, the most important thing is the will and resilience of the people. The sea is vast, but the human spirit is as steady as a tripod, overcoming any storm.”

Indeed, the homeland’s sea and islands are always a sacred part of our flesh and blood. Whether in Truong Sa or any other island, the spirit of self-reliance, the unwavering will to cling to the sea and protect the island are always precious and worthy of respect.
