VietNamNet Bridge – The Khmer people’s Sene Dolta Festival was attended by more than 500 officials of central agencies, committees for religion from Mekong Delta provinces and Ho Chi Minh City, dignitaries, monks and nuns in Can Tho City on Sept. 19.
Lieut. Gen. Luu Phuoc Luong, Deputy Head of the Steering Committee for the Southwestern Region, delivered a greeting letter from Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung to the southern Khmer people during the festival.
The letter stated: “This year, the government, ministries, branches and Mekong Delta localities continue implementing the Party and State policies aiming to promote socio-economic development in the region, especially areas inhabited by the Khmer people. All members, including monks and nuns, of the Khmer ethnic minority group have upheld the sense of solidarity and emulation in production and learning, and active participation in revolutionary movements.”
The Deputy PM said he believed that the officials, people and Buddhist monks and nuns of the Khmer group in the southern region will overcome all difficulties, actively strive for a happy life, bring into play the tradition of unity among nationalities and religions, and heighten revolutionary vigilance to contribute towards national construction and defence.
At the meeting, several religious dignitaries and Khmer people expressed thanks for the sentiments expressed by the Party and State towards ethnic minority people in the southern region, including the Khmer people.
The Sene Dolta Festival is the 2nd largest annual festival after the Chol Chnam Thmay (New Year) of the Khmer people in the Mekong Delta.
During the Sene Dolta Festival the Khmer people gather at pagodas to pray for bumper crops and pay tributes to their ancestors, and enjoy a range of light-hearted activities, including traditional song and dance performances at the end of a hard working year.
