people have made the National Day their Independence Festival.

majority of targets set in the resolution of the 16th provincial Party
Congress. The infrastructure system has been developed, while locals have

areas.

the spreading of COVID-19 and boosting socio-economic development at the same
time with fruitful results.

The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
