Notably, the two agencies has coordinated to build the national target programme on socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for 2021-2030.

The programmes and policies have contributed to fostering the confidence of people of all ethnic groups in the Party and the State, and firmly promoting the great national unity bloc.

Participants discussed and agreed on a number of contents for their specific coordination programme, including issues related to investment in creating livelihoods and economic development for ethnic minorities.

The two agencies signed a cooperation programme framework for the 2021-2025 period, and developed a plan for regular tasks of the two sides in 2022.

VFU Chairman Luong Quoc Doan expressed his hope that the two sides will continue to cooperate more closely to well implement contents and tasks of the national target programme on socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for 2021-2030, helping to maintain political stability and successfully carry out the cause of national construction and development.

He suggested the two sides continue to innovate methods of mobilisation and popularisation in order to fully equip farmers with knowledge, thus changing outdated farming practices, towards promoting sustainable poverty reduction.
