During her meeting on Thursday with representatives from Da Nang’s Hoa Vang District Party Committee, Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilisation Truong Thi Mai praised the district for its remarkable achievements during its rural area upgrading process over the 2010 - 2015 period.

Ms Mai urged the district’s authorities to continue their efforts to raise the living standards of its local residents, to restructure the local workforce and economic sector, and to mobilise all resources for ensuring the district’s sustainable development.

Over the 5-year period, the district’s citizens became actively involved in rural area upgrading activities by donating their land for the construction of roads and cultural centres, and for the creation of modern growing areas.  Their total donations were recorded as worth 392.35 billion VND.

In addition, a total of 118.745 billion VND was raised to help the district upgrade its infrastructure, develop its production activities, ensure local social welfare, and protect its environment.

On 8 December 2015, the district received an emulation flag from the Prime Minister for its excellent achievements in the national ‘All People Join Efforts to Build New Rural Areas’ movement.

At a meeting held in Da Nang on 10 May this year, it was announced that the district had been recognised as a locality meeting the government’s criteria for rural area development 5 years ahead of schedule.

Currently, 10 out of the 11 communes in Hoa Vang District meet the environmental protection criteria, whilst the remaining Hoa Bac Commune is striving to meet the criteria by late this month.

In the future, greater efforts will be made to further the development of a local synchronous technical infrastructure, with a focus on installing more lighting systems, and building new roads, schools and cultural centres.
