An-Giang Believes in the Future
A landscape sheet (code SP-1041) pairs four black-and-white photographs of new buildings in An-Giang province, a bank, a warehouse, a commercial street and a social-housing site, with a blue text box and the slogan 'Today we build so that tomorrow all the people prosper.' The text says businesses are building new premises in the provincial capital out of confidence in the province's 'security and prosperity'. The tell is the selection: only completed and half-built commercial premises appear, and the slogan states a hoped-for future as a general promise.

Text read from the image; 'PHỒN THỊNH' is printed so (standard spelling phồn thịnh). 'Việt Nam Thương Tín' is rendered 'Vietnam Credit' as a literal gloss of the bank's name.
