President Thuong said that the Party and State pay great attention to ethnic minority communities, with the issuance of many policies to support them, including national target programmes aiming to enhance the living conditions of ethnic minority groups.

He highlighted the great contributions of ethnic minority communities to the revolutionary cause of the Party and people both in the past struggle for national independence and reunification as well as to the present national construction and development.

The State leader spoke highly of the efforts by reputable people in implementing the Party and State’s guidelines and policies, encouraging other people to comply with laws, ensuring security, social order and safety. They also promote production and build the national great solidarity bloc, and develop cultural life in the community, contributing to preserving and promoting national cultural values.

The State leader asked ministries, sectors and localities to implementing policies and the national target programme on socioeconomic development in mountainous and ethnic minority-inhabited areas in a more effective manner, while mobilising the engagement and supervision of the people in the work and encouraging households and individuals from ethnic minority groups to escape poverty.
