In 2017, the political systems of Hang Kia and Pa Co
continued to be reinforced. The administrations’ leadership, along with the
performance of the communal committees of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and
other organisations, was enhanced. Local authorities paid attention to boosting
economic development, building infrastructure, stepping up education
universalisation, and ensuring primary health care.
Cultural, sports and tourism activities were
also maintained, especially the successful organisation of the first "Gau tao”
Festival, thus helping to keep cultural identities and improve local people’s
spiritual lives. Hang Kia and Pa Co strengthened defence, security and social
order while successfully curbing drug crime.
Officials at the meeting agreed on some focal
tasks for the steering board in 2018.
Addressing the event, Secretary Bui Van Tinh
underlined key tasks in the time ahead, including increasing training to better
the staff quality of the communes’ administrations and improving personnel
work. The Party organisations of Hang Kia and Pa Co need to instruct local residents
to keep solidarity to prevent sabotage plots of hostile forces. They have also
make use of the role of village patriarchs and prestigious persons to enhance
local solidarity.
He asked the provincial People’s Committee to
ensure capital for road construction so that Cun Pheo – Hang Kia – Pa Co –
National Highway 6 road and the road linking Van Ho district of Son La province
with Pa Khom village will see traffic soon.
He assigned the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism to make a tourism development plan for the two
communes and have mechanisms to support community-based tourism. Meanwhile, the
agriculture and rural development sector has to assist farmers to select the
plant varieties and animal breeds that suit local climate conditions and have
high productivity and economic value so as to hasten the change of farming
structure.
The official also urged stronger communications
and measures to eradicate early and consanguineous marriage. He told Hang Kia
and Pa Co to further coordinate with neighbouring communes of Van Ho district,
Son La province, to bolster socio-economic development and ensure
defence-security. They also need to maintain the "Gau tao” Festival to keep
traditional cultural identities.
On this occasion, the Secretary presented 20
gift packages to martyrs’ families and households with disadvantages.
