The city leader took the opportunity to ask authorities at all levels to pay more attention to carrying out education and healthcare policies, creating jobs, reducing poverty, supporting people to do a business, and developing community-based tourism in parallel with preserving the cultural identity of the Co Tu people.

When visiting the Vietnamese people of Chinese origin living in Trung Nghia Village, Hoa Ninh Commune, Hoa Vang District, Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh wished them a peaceful, jubilant and happy Tet.

He voiced his hope that they will continue to promote community solidarity and effectively develop the family economy, greatly contributing to building new-style rural areas, and prosperous and beautiful city.
