President urges Kon Tum to create breakthrough
The leader worked with the local authorities and met army units and ethnic people during a visit to Kon Tum from March 28-30. He paid attention to the implementation of the Party's resolutions and State policies on socio-economic development, poverty reduction and improvement of the ethnic people's living conditions.
He also inquired into the province's forest protection and development, expansion of the irrigation system, removal of residences from hydro-power project sites, and security maintenance.
President Luong was pleased to see that Kon Tum has brought into play advantages to narrow the development gap between the province and other provinces in the Central Highlands and across the country.
He asked relevant ministries and services to hasten the upgrade of the transport infrastructure system, including the Ho Chi Minh highway and Highway 14 connecting central coastal provinces and the Bo Y border economic zone.
President Luong paid special attention to work on building resettlement areas for ethnic minority people, resolving the matter of land for housing and production for ethnic minorities and promoting agricultural production and fisheries.
The leader urged ministries and branches to work out preferential policies to draw investment, including foreign investment, to exploit Kon Tum's potential to develop industry, particularly farm and forest produce processing and construction of rural infrastructure.
He said Kon Tum should uphold the revolutionary tradition and spirit of great solidarity to obtain higher and sustainable growth in the next ten years./.
