State President Triet has urged ministries, departments and businesses to help the people of Cao Bang province develop a better economy to improve their living conditions.
On March 15, Mr Triet visited Truong Ha commune, Ha Quang district, Cao Bang province where late President Ho Chi Minh made his first returning steps after more than 30 years tramping about abroad to find a way to save the country.
Two years ago, Mr Triet presented VND400 million to support local people in developing production. During the visit he said he was very happy to see that they have used the capital effectively by raising their cowherd from 80 to 137 cows worth around VND822 million.
“The commune is a tourist site and a cradle of revolution so transport infrastructure must be improved. Ministries and agencies should help Truong Ha and Pac Po develop,” he said.
With the support of State President Triet, some businesses in Ho Chi Minh City have provided more than VND5.2 billion to help local people build houses, farms and cultural houses.
