So far, the majority of local residents have accessed to sanitary toilets, clean water and power services. The ratio of poverty in the locality has been reduced to 11.1 percent.

At the festival, which marked the 88th founding anniversary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the leader expressed his delight as the local community has promoted the heroic tradition, continuing to implement the Party’s policies and directions with great outcomes, especially in socio-economic development, culture, education and new-style rural building, thus improving locals’ living conditions.

He lauded the solidarity and mutual support of the local community in escaping poverty and improving infrastructure system as well as locals’ incomes.

The leader declared that the Party and State always give optimal conditions for localities to develop through providing resources, experiences and supporting them in personnel training and science-technology application.

Highlighting the significance of fostering the national great solidarity bloc, the leader expressed his belief that with strong unity, Dur Kmal will reap more successes in all fields.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front’s Central Committee also offered presents to policy beneficiaries in the commune.

Earlier, on November 10, the Party and State leader worked with the provincial Party Committee on the mid-term results in implementing the provincial Party Organisation Congress’s resolution for the 2015-2020 tenure.

So far, Dak Lak has shown strong performance in economic development with growth of 7.8 percent per year. The province’s agro-forestry-fisheries sector recorded the highest growth in the region, at 6.2 percent. Meanwhile, 40 out of 152 communes and one out of 15 districts have finished the new-style rural building programme.

The leader asked Dak Lak to prepare personnel plans as the 2015-2020 tenure is nearly over. The province should enhance collaboration with regional localities and ministries in economic development, while paying more attention to Party building and anti-corruption, making the province a development centre of the Central Highlands region, he stressed.
