the Government of Vietnam has just passed Decree 70/2017/ND-CP, which stipulates new allowances and preferential benefits for people with contributions to the revolution.
The new standard level to determine preferential allowances and subsidies for people with meritorious services to the revolution is 1,417,000 VND replacing the current standard level of 1,318,000 VND. Thus, it can be seen that the new preferential allowances and subsidies for people with meritorious services to the revolution have been adjusted upward.
